The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVII

Grandpa fell last week and ended up in the hospital. He sat in the ER for hours and no one would even help him go to the bathroom. He eventually tried to walk out and they stopped him, which didn't go over well for the staff.

He called my dad after the debacle and said he was ready to move into an assisted living facility in Austin. Very uncommon for a 94 year old to make that decision on their own accord. Had that ER visit occurred here, there would have been at least a dozen people available to meet him at the hospital.

I've talked to my parents about assisted living, they are willing to consider it. I just dropped the suggestion last year and pointed out that they wouldn't have to deal with home repairs, yard upkeep and the hundred little things that happen. I think Dad's ready to move and Mom will go if Dad does. It's my sisters that are being a pain...

So, my fiancee & I are going to take them to look at some facilities and then get on the waiting list (if there is one). After they move, we'll bring in an auction company to sell everything, put the property on the market (1.5 acres on a corner lot in a nice suburb) then put the proceeds in the trust.

Yep told mom, I aint wiping asses or showering you. If you cant do that by yourself or easily with an aide here, you out the door.

We have all the trusts and wills and what nots arranged already so that helps a lot.

Wifey told the youngest boy that when she gets to the point of not being able to care for herself. That she is moving in with him. His reply was, .........well.....I guess to bath you. I'll just put you in a wheelbarrow. Wheel you out to the shop, and hose you down with the pressure washer.

What a day. I never got a chance to sit down once at work. Walked into a mess from the weekend. Got most everything taking care of. Now off to wash the motorhome.
