I've just spent the  last several hours weeding through Himself's long awaited medical records/imaging. I had a job of it, trying to get those. USPS have still not located the packet I sent back in April, so I went ahead and submitted all of the requests on my own. Last week I was told by the release of information office person that while I had sent them everything I needed to, I had not completed the incorrect form.  The form they sent me.

965 pages, much of it copied and pasted from earlier entries, and full of the most astonishing gaffs and errors. I was relived to read that he was lying in bed and 'relaxed', that he wasn't a fall risk, and that he was not at risk for "escape or elopement".  Would have been a neat trick if he had been, as he was utterly immobile. I also really rather doubt the veteran 'expressed verbal understanding' of anything.

 

But, it has certainly relieved my mind in the sense that while we didn't have the outcome any of us would have wished for, I made the right decisions in the end.

 

You did well. Take heart and know you did well.

@cdneh you did what he wanted and I can only imagine how difficult reading all that was

Look after yourself and if you run out of things to do I can always send you MIL 😁

If you change your mind just let me know 😁🤣

She still thinks her boyfriend is going to marry her, he hasn't in 15 years so I'm thinking he's not about to now she's completely lost touch with reality (I live in hope though!)

yes she's going to have to come with us *sigh*

 Heavens, I'm sorry to hear that, I'd hoped she wouldn't want to leave home. Does she want to go and leave her heart's desire behind her? She has an actual boyfriend?!?

She calls him her boyfriend, not sure he feels the same way about her though

She can't live by herself, refuses to go into an assisted living facility so she'll have to come with us...mind you she tells everyone she's decided that 'todays the day I'm going to die' pretty much every day so maybe she knows something we and her doctors don't (they say that there is no reason she won't live another 10 years or more!)

I'm sorry you are stuck with her, I do know what that is like. So she's happy to go? She does understand it? My MIL labors still under the mistaken idea that telling us to 'get out' didn't actually mean we should! Seriously

 

From what I can gather, she and her charming daughter/son-in-law have changed internet providers, and so she has a bright shiny new email addy that I didn't have blocked. I have now, but she did manage to send me two notes first. 

In the first, she demanded everything she had ever given me as a gift back. Easy peasy. Never had a present from her.  The second was a rather long rambling mea culpa, in which she takes credit for everything she has done since the year dot. Or not done. It isn't genuine in the least, and were are a lot of outright lies as well, typical narcissist behavior. Never mind, I am putting it down to her state of mind. I haven't got to deal with the nonsense any longer.

She turns 90 this year, and I am so glad I am not still looking after her.

I hear that. I think my MIL was the only person I've ever wished death on.

I assume she knew this would happen upon mutual agreement of said event?

Still doesn't believe that the nasty language is mostly bedbug and a start-negotiating point, no Niki-B. ma'am.

We presume that we can keep the first and still beef about mowing the second, si Niki-B. ma'am.

Saturday GS/ES/MS report, see man:

 

The two MSs (moving-sales) were both phantom, don't waste our time and gas man.

The take, see man:

  -- 2 pillowcases, Bostitch stapler, seemingly new office-scissors, one-Many'rd container

        Lysol wipes; mostly full bottles Vitamin D, echinacea, hydrogen peroxide = $Many 

        ($2+2+1) steal man

   -- book for Mini-B. = $1, OK man

Total = $Many ($2+2+2)

Not sure I'd say she's happy about going but it's not like she much in the way of options

The doctor says she is fully aware of what she does and is perfectly competent - she's just got a mean streak a mile wide ( that last bit was me not the doctor lol) 

she will be 86 in August and I have a horrible suspicion that's she's mean enough to outlive us all

Funny how the mean ones go on so long. I think maybe it's why they do. Pickled as it were. Only the good, eh? Maybe she'll find herself a new boyfriend
