Thank you all for your combined wisdom.
Busy, I'd like to think that is the case ~ a caring family. However, my family, as supportive as they can be, cannot just listen; they need to fix. Everything. After all the years with the tweedles, I've learned that isn't possible.
Fran, the speech issues are from the illness ~ not the pain medications. Some days are better; others are worse.
My family is 325 miles away & have no clue on my abilities to function on a daily basis.
After seeing my neuro doctor on Saturday & talking with psychiatrist this morning I will be doing several things. Changing passwords & such on my accounts. Contacting an attorney to see exactly what my rights are regarding my capabilities (I'm not incompetent), my children, my home, etc.
This started when I asked my older & younger brothers if they would consider becoming my financial POA if needed; my sisters if they would become my medical POA & guardians for the tweedles. There have been no legal documents drawn up yet nor have there been any agreements.
I may be slow but I'm a survivor. I know when I'm in over my head & ask for help (have done so in the past & will do so in the future).
My brother told me last night that everyone just wants me closer to "home" so they can lend a hand but not with kt or wm. That's just cruel.
Thanks again - I'll see how this plays out. So far, neuro doctor & psychiatrist think it's a snowball's chance in he!! that anything will come of this.
