[QUOTE="Star*, post: 339669, member: 4964"] Dear St. Terry, (Patron St. of the Elderly) O.M.G. what a lovely soul you are. I agree with husband - get a doctor to tell her that she can't go home and then stand back and act surprised. Practice acting - lol. Really she is going to be very angry and resentful and when that comes out? Nelly bar the door. husband is wise. This is going to be an awful lot for your Aunt to take in. Bed ridden, in pain, loss of quality and quantity of life? Depression is really going to come quick, fast and hard -poor thing. How lucky she is to have a loving niece. The cat stroller was brilliant!! I'm sure there is someone out there for her cat, but if not? It may be more humane for him if he can't be with her to spend his remaining days at the no-kill shelter. Sometimes someone comes in and just wants the cat no one can tame. He may get lucky. I got a jogging stroller for LuLu - she prefers to jog along. If I could ride in it and teach her to push me I'd have it made. :winking: I wish you the best my friend. You have some very difficult decisions ahead of you. I don't envy you any of the tasks. It may be a bit easier if you had an Estate sale/auction once you get the things out of her apartment she wants. Tag sales are huge here and bring in far more money than anyone thinks about. You could put the money in her savings or whatever she needs. As far as the man selling her place for a condo? Had you maybe thought about taking it over for your get away place? Hmm???? Maybe he could buy you out? If she's still alive and deeds it to you could that work? Not sure how all that works. Oh and FYI - Borax and Tide for her sheets and clothes....VERY helpful. You'll also want to consider (maybe) taking her things to a laundromat instead of washing them in your machines. You really are getting extra gems in your crown for this. You're a real doll.
