[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 251211, member: 1991"] OK, you go tell mother in law what she won't hear form anyone else - and make darn sure you tell her just how much you're having to put your own health issues on the backburner, because she WON'T listen to other people! She doesn't want to be a bother - but she is making her own life much more difficult and making yours far more painful right now than it should be. You should be dealing with your own studies, you should be getting your health attended to (don't leave a potential kidney problem, it's nasty, I've been there and got dangerously ill, requiring surgery and several years' recuperation). So don't you become mother in law either. If she won't get herself out of bed, she will rapidly lose the ability to live on her own. Sounds like she's blown her chances with the call button, too. And if she's not eating - we're beginning to get this with our mother in law, it's partly too much pain ad a lot of it 'can't be bothered, I don't feel like eating it now I've cooked it.' Re your kidney - if you can at the very least drop in a sterile mid-stream urine specimen so your doctor can send it off for pathology, or even dipstick it to look for blood & protein, it will help. It shouldn't take you too long to read mother in law the riot act. And while you're shouting at her GP, get HIM to check you out. He may be an arrogant ***%& but surely he's a competent doctor? That way it should at least save you time. A thought. Marg [/QUOTE]
