She had another memory test today. 14 correct out of 30, but the girl helped her a lot on a few of them she got right. I was actually brought to tears when she couldn't subtract 7 from 100, or 93 -7. She burst into tears apologizing. I told her no reason to apologize, it's not her fault.
I took the day off from work to deal with her debt situation she has put us in. I had some luck. But we are still screwed financially. I dont see a legit way out of it right now.
I've already done everything you suggest BigP except the durable power of attorney. But it was just two weeks ago I realized what was going on financially.
But yeah, I watched my grandmother die of alzheimers so I know what the future holds either way. I've promised her I will keep her at home and not put her in a home.
And as cold as it sounds I'm glad it's her and not me. She could never handle me with my size and strength as my mind slowly faded. And our youngest son, who is a large man, would take advantage of her after I was gone. So it's best it's her instead of me.
But this all sucks. At least it's not like our brother Ozzy with young kids in the picture. My thoughts and prayers are for him. Me and Eli deserve whatever we get health wise with all the abuse we have put our bodies through.
