[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 474343, member: 135"] Yes, I can't leave a whole week of medications at a time with her...we did that for a long time but she finally got to the place where she didn't know what day it was so she might take 2 or 3 days medications in one day. Getting her medications to her isn't as serious as is sounds as I am probably in town 3 or 4 days a week anyway. With winter coming on, I have told difficult child 2 that he will have to take responsibility for getting them to her and he is OK with that. Her problem is complicated by the fact that, at one time, she had a fairly large amount of money. She spent it on difficult children (a whole other story) so now she lives mostly on her social security but because of the money she spent, she does not qualify, yet, for extra assistance. What a mess! We are coping right now and I certainly don't mind helping her. It's the future that I am worried about, but I guess, at 97, the future isn't really going to be a long time in any case.
