[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 373111, member: 3419"] Thank you. I do not think my sister is in any condition to be doing this. She needs at least another mo to 6 wks to heal. She gave up the drugs within a few days after the surgery, regardless of the pain, because she had such horrible side effects. (Similar to the weirdness that my 82-yr-old cousin is known for ... and since they were on the same medications, it comes as no surprise. The diff is, cousin could not differentiate between reality and drugs, and sister figured it out immediately.) Still, she is going through huge hormonal fluctuations (it was a hysterectomy gone bad--vaginal turned to major surgery when they nicked her bladder, trying to get endometrial tissue off of it) and needs to take a lot more time for herself. She's had two bladder infections since she's been out of the hospital. And don't forget, she's my dad's main caregiver, too, and he's got Alzheimer's. Along with-my sister, I, too am terrified for my niece. In fact, I hardly slept at all last night. Today I thought, I have enough trouble detaching from my cousin and difficult child ... I cannot handle this, too. I will fly up and do an intervention in person. If ... if my sister lets me. And if she realizes how much safter it is. But I want my sister to heal first. Unfortunately, I think she has already set this in motion and there is no going back. I have spoken to my brother and one other sister and they are in agreement. I am hoping my brother will call and do what he does best--diplomacy. I have not spoken to my sister since Friday. [/QUOTE]
