[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 671984, member: 18958"] I went to my mother when she was ill and stayed with her taking her to the doctor. I had quit work. Within a few weeks she was diagnosed with a recurrence of the TB she had had 25 years before. My sister flew cross country, and a day later her 2 kids joined her. *She was mad because I had not called her right away. Me and my mother were afraid. My mother told my sister: Do not meddle with or insert yourself into my treatment. My sister ignored her and did anyway, and I saw her talking to the doctor and out loud in front of my mom and nieces, I said so. My mother told my sister: You promised me you would not interfere. I ask you again. Do not take control of me or my medical care. COPA and I have a plan in place and I do not want you to change it. My sister stormed out of the hospital room with her children. Then a few weeks later when my Mother was in Rehab my sister sent a letter, with this big song and dance about how she had purchased an airline ticket for my mother and arranged a wheel chair etcetera for my Mother to come for Christmas, like they had discussed. At that time Christmas was in 3 weeks. Except that they had never discussed it. My sister did it unilaterally. There was no way in the world that my mother would ever have done it or was ever fit to make such a trip. Everything was created out of whole cloth in her mind which she then presented to my mother as a done deal. Until now I had never realized it was pure theater. She was competing. With me. There was never a ticket. There was never a wheelchair. I am hating her right now. COPA [/QUOTE]
