[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 341781, member: 2459"] mother in law lives in a small apartment in a senior citizen complex. She has a set of keys in her purse which is in a hospital belonging bag in my bedroom. husband has a set of keys which I currently have as I started cleaning her place. (she apparently has been unable to do much for a while as the apartment is in appalling shape). Di has a set that she thinks are hanging on a peg in her apartment. D and S have no keys and no authority to do anything regarding the apartment and the complex knows this. When I said there was very little in the apartment, I wasn't kidding. There is a couch, a day bed, a twin bed frame, a couple of lamps, dresser, very hand me down, old coffee table and mis-matched end tables one of which is being used as a microwave stand and one is a tv stand, a small table with 4 chairs, her tv, a boom box and her kitchen things including a small microwave. That's it. All of the furniture aside from the table and chairs were bought used when mother in law moved up here. Honestly, she isn't coming home in my opinion. The only way I can see it happening is if there is a gap of a couple of days between her release from the hospital and a bed at a nursing home being ready for her. That's it. She just can't live on her own anymore. The cleaning I'm doing at her apartment is just that...cleaning. I'm not packing anything up and all I've thrown away is old food and a pan that just needed tossed. The place just needs a very good cleaning and I've been wanting to do it for a long time. You just can't do it with mother in law there and she doesn't leave the apartment unless you can get her to go to a doctor's appointment. When it does come time to pack things up though....it will more than likely be some combination of husband, Di and myself depending on the time frame and respective schedules. If anyone else tries to butt in, as I said, I have no problem playing the card. [/QUOTE]
