Tom,

He probably is drinking again or has schemes on how to get his hands on the stuff.

If there weren't people I'd be having to work with for years yet that would think terribly of me, I'd just walk away from it. I can't do that however, at least not yet. Once he finally end up being committed to a home, then I won't worry about him much at all. For the last couple of years he didn't even respond to cards or send me any, which he always used to do. Phone calls with him were slightly less enjoyable that having those teeth pulled, and those at least made me feel much better for having done it.

The folks in Alabama are very family oriented and they have worked with my family for over 50 years and the relations will probably continue in the business capacity alone for another 20 or 30, and who knows how long in the unofficial capacity after that. if I just washed my hands of this affair, they would still work with me, but I would be greatly reduced in their estimation, which would have a very chilling effect on things. That and I'm not sure I'd really be too thrilled with myself either for that.

Anyway, it is getting very close to the point where it will be out of my hands. If he ends up in the hospital again, they will almost certainly be running a competency hearing on him and I doubt he would pass. That means he would be put in a home like it or not.

The concern then will be the dispensation of his assets. I want to take a few items that he has for myself, but the major items like car and house would be sold and the money put toward his care. However, there is a woman involved. This one woman that has been helping look after him I and one of the neighbors have suspicions about. Since she is the only person my father will let look after him, we are kind of stuck with her. My belief is that she is taking advantage of him. My opinion of that is simply that she is digging her own grave. If I get confirmation of it, I have no qualms against pressing charges against her, and I will not drop the pursuit unless the police and such say it is untenable. I'm also not too concerned because there is no way he can leave her any of the family business. She might cheat him of his assets, but she can't get anything of mine.

Still, there is no proof and honestly I'm not too inclined to push it. If she is, she is and proof will turn up. Even if it doesn't, I'm not worried about it because she can't harm me. If she tries to go after a piece of the business, she won't succeed to begin with, but I will also rip her apart with detectives and investigations into my suspicions. As I've said before, I'm lenient about a lot of things, but mess with family, friends or most of all my assets, and you're in for it. No, I don't particularly consider my father family for reasons far too numerous to list here.

Anyway, I'll let you all know how this plays out.

Hi ,

" However, the facility did not call or at least leave a message that

he had been discharged. The neighbors though got him home and were

getting him set up. "

Given that the facility doesn't about the power of attorney, they

would not think to call you, even if you are family/next of kin.

Also, he may have told them not to call you.

" Unfortunately, the first thing he did when he got home was to want

to drive up to the liquor store. They have hidden his car keys

though. However, the other day when the neighbor went in to check on

him, they found a KFC box on the table, which means somehow he had

been out to get it. Perhaps the woman looking in on him took him to

get it or maybe he walked since he was only a few blocks away from

there, and the ABC store as well. We don't know if there is any

booze hidden in the house or not. "

1) He probably has a second set of car keys hidden somewhere.

2) He would be within his legal rights to drive anyway, provided he

was sober.

3) He's got to eat, so it may be that he lehft to get food and that

is all he left for and possibly he went on foot.

4) If there wasn't booze hidden in the house before, it's a good bet

there is now since he was asking for a drink and was prevented from

getting it the previous day.

" The nursing service tried to come by Friday to check up on him, but

he wouldn't let them in. "

Probably because he is drinking again. This behavior is indicative

of someone who is trying to hide somenthing. However, it just might

be that he believes himself to be in good enough health again that

he does not need to be bothered.

" This morning they came by again with one of the neighbors and he

flatly refused all of their services. The nurse recommended talking

to his primary care physician and having him sent back to the

hospital and from there to the nursing home again, this time for

good. "

I don't think a doctor can actually have him sent anywhere unless

your dad is readmitted to the hospital first, and even then, if I am

not mistaken, your dad can leave AMA unless his mental disposition

is such that the power of attorney should assume decision making for

him, in which case the decision would be yours.

" We have decided not to do that just yet, however. He has only been

out a few days. However, the neighbors are going to be watching

closing and if he is falling off again, we are going to try to catch

him before he ends up on the floor again. At that point, he will be

going back to the hospital and from there to a home. If this happens

again, there will be no option. "

At first I was going to suggest lettting him get really sick so that

he winds up on the floor again. Then you could demonstrate that he

is incapable of caring for himself. But on second thought, it would

be better to do it your way because this demonstrates good judgement

and care on your part. (If he ever tried to refute the power of

attorney, poor care judgement and poor care would not be options for

him...at least in this single instance.)

" In addition, in spite of having the power of attorney papers for 3

weeks, the people at the home never got it signed. Their idiot

notary public couldn't understand the paperwork and all of them were

too stupid to call either myself or our lawyer to work this out. "

I don;t think the notary has to understand what is being signed. All

they have to do is witness that it is signed. But perhaps the laws

are different in your state.

" They also never returned calls from either myself or my lawyer. So,

I called the regional manager for the chain and voiced my

complaints. The man promised to get an investigation started on this

to find out what happened and told me that this was very

unacceptable. "

It is ALWAYS unacceptable when they get caught. Otherwise, they

don't give a damn. I had to use a bit of persuasion with a doctor

concerning someone's care last month, and when I hinted at

negligence and malpractice on their part, things got done amazingly

fast.

" He must have followed through because my lawyer did finally get a

call from one of the people at the home. "

Yep. Told you.

" Not much was accomplished though, other than to find out how

incompetent the administration is there. The nursing staff was

great, but the admin is worse than at the junior college I attended. "

Nurses tend to be mostly removed from admin and just follow orders.

I never blame nurses for doing what they are told. I only blame

nurses for poor bedside manner, or doing their jobs poorly. Take it

all around, most nurses do a good job considering the stress they

are under and the patient loads.

" This has had me distracted a bit, but I'll try to catch up on

posts. "

Good.

I'm curious, and refresh my memory on Kody, did he just have obsessive

He has been diagnosed with OCD since he was 6, with bipolar tendencies. The

obsessions/compulsions have been really bad lately, along with not wanting to

leave the house, not being able to handle people touching him, gone back to

hurting himself, rages, would just prefer to be antisocial. He doesn't make

friends easily because they have to approach him, he doesn't know how to

interact properly with people. That is something that has always been a

challenge to him. He prefers to play by himself, prefers doing school work to

going outside on recess, even wrote that down in a story....lol My email should

show, go ahead and email me privately, any help you can give would be wonderful!

You are such a good support person Chris!

Thank you Bonnie, what I failed to mention, mainly because I was concentrating

on understanding the AS is that he was also diagnosed with a verbal learning

disorder, while his cognitive skills (he is 8) are from an 10-12 year old level,

his verbal is nowhere near that. His social is even worse.

Yes, Yes, Yes!! What you are doing is right, that is how you handle

the " confessing " part of ocd bad thoughts. By limiting the amount

of times he can confess his thoughts to you, stops the fueling of

the ocd fire. I know this for a fact because my dd has bad thought

ocd! I also know what you mean about feeling guilty. It may not be

about us, but we as parents also need to help them fight ocd, (which

is exhausting), by not giving in to them with reassurances. They

must learn to ride out anxiety. I am sooo glad he did great

Saturday!! It feels so good to see our kids happy and less stressed

at times! It is like getting a breath of fresh air.

My dd also comes to me more than her dad because I am around more

and she feels closer to me. I tell her I am proud of her for

fighting her ocd battle and when it gets really hard she tells me

and I take her to see her therapist.

You are doing a great job as a mother and always remember, to get

support for youself if you ever feel too drained!!

That's great that he's able to comply with the 2 per day

confessions! Sounds as if he is handling this OK, so don't feel

guilty a bit, this is what you/he were working for!

from all I've read I think you're doing the right thing and it seems to

have helped both of you!!! I've been waiting for a call from school

since the first day and she's doing fine so far but yes I know the pins

and needles even when she's with me - just don't want a fit to happen

ever - as if... LOL!!!!

I think I just posted on someones elses post, sorry about that if I

did. I too had to limit the bad thought telling to night time. Just

knowing she had a time to tell me really helped. I didn't cut them

down, but if it had went on, I would have. She would tell me her

thoughts all day long and i thought I might go crazy. The night time

thing just really helped and she was able to hold it in all day

because she knew we could really talk at night time. Isn't it

wonderful when you make a breakthrough. Good luck! Bobbi

That is wonderful! It sounds like it did him good, and you. :0) I know what

you mean, my dd does the same thing, tells me things and needs reassurance for

them. It is SO much nicer when she isnt doing it. Sounds like it worked well

for you guys.

I do get worried when she is not with me, but I know she holds it together

better away from home, or when not with me. I just get the let down once she

gets home. Horray.

Update

Our ds was confessing his " pop-up thoughts " (that's what he calls them)

to us so frequently throughout the day that something had to give. He

kept saying it made him feel better to tell us. My husband realized that

the " confessing " was the compulsion for his obsession. So Friday after

school, in a relaxed atmosphere as we were taking our new puppy on an

outing to PetSmart, he started with the confessing. My dh stopped him

right there and said we were going to try something new. He told him by

confessing his pop-up thoughts he was letting OCD control him and he

can't let that happen. He told him, for now, he can tell us two pop-up

thoughts a day -- one before dinner and one before bed and that's it. I

was nervous about this. I was afraid anxiety for him would kick in big

time because he couldn't tell us. But he did GREAT all day Saturday! He

shared one pop-up thought before bed and that was it. Yesterday he did

really well, too. He had a few more pop-up thoughts he said he wanted to

share, but he didn't. He waited until bedtime. He tried to go over his

limit, but I stopped him. He was in really good spirits this morning

before school. So I hope and pray he has a good day at school. I had to

pick him up early Friday because he had a migraine. He promised me that

was all that it was, that nothing OCD-related had happened and upset

him. Are any of the rest of you on pins and needles when your children

are away from you, worried that something will happen and no one will

understand? Also, do you think limiting the " confessing " sessions is a

good thing? Selfishly, it's been good for me (I feel guilty saying that

because this is sooooooo not about me). But it's been horrible having to

listen to these thoughts of his all day long. For some reason, he likes

telling me more than his dad.

you've been in my prayers, too, honey.Sheena <mom4possums2002@...> wrote: Hi All, I am so far behind, going to try to hit as much as I can in one post. First, thank you for your continued prayers for Josh, the young Marine who was shot in Iraq and lost his entire Platoon at that time. Josh is in the Naval Hospital in land now and by many prayers and miracles, still with us. His family and fiance are all there with him.. Please keep your prayers going, he still has a very, very long road.. Sharon, my heart about stopped when I read that they were going to deny your second month meds, I'm so happy to read now that you resolved that. My prayers are with your sister, how sad, I am sure praying for a good outcome..... Kerri, oh, MY, my prayers are with you, as well for a complete and speedy healing! Janet, Congratulations on your new job, that rocks! Lee, I have a Husky, as well! They are sure something else. Did you finally get to see the goats? I once had a baby goat named after me.. Mel and Lee, that is so weird on the different

colors and shapes of pills, I'm going to ask the "Be In Charge" nurse about that, it sure makes me wonder, as well.. I'm not sure what I'm in charge of, though, lol, have yet to start treatment..but I do try to keep up with everything.. Tim, Thanks for sharing "A Woman" with us all, that was so very touching.. anne, Thank you again for all of the special things you share to lighten things up.. Jax, I don't know how {we} grandparents live without warming blankets, they really help! le, Best of luck with your biopsy on Friday! , "Hi", I'm Sheena, and yes, indeed, I have found your posts to be quite fascinating reading.. I'm sure glad that you have

returned. I'm fairly new here, as of September.. My Rock..what a great bunch of folks.. Has anyone heard from ? I know she just started a new job in Arizona, I do hope all is going well for her.. You out there ? Sharon, , Jax, le, Nikki, Becky and all, no results on my biopsy, as yet, my GI hasn't even been in the office all last week or this. I have an appointment with him on February 6th. Generally, I will go and get a copy of my results, but have not been inclined to do so this time, especially since they were unable to biopsy the mass in my liver. They were able to get 2 nice chunks of my liver to biopsy and that will tell me where I'm at, otherwise.. The Radiologist wants to run another Cat Scan end of next month to determine if the

mass is still growing.. If it is, it needs to be removed, then biopsied.. That about covers it, I wish everyone well, you are all ever in my prayers.. Many Blessings, Sheena Need a quick answer? Get one in minutes from people who know. Ask your question on Answers.
