[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 548664, member: 3419"] I was hoping she had a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), but the results came back normal. I didn't see the actual numbers, but I spoke with-a nurse a few min ago. She is going to fax the results to the dr to make sure. (by the way, rant here: It took 10 days to get this done!!!! Long story. End of rant.) So, P has been talking to herself in the bathroom, and also, insisting that she spoke on the phone to my grandmother, who has been dead for 30 yrs. They did not get along at all, and my grandmother's marriage to P's stepfather (Loooonnnng story, enough for a feature film) send my cousin over the edge. Judging from her medication records and letters from relatives that I have found (and P does not know I have) I think that P had at least two nervous breakdowns, and this person, K, is one of the catalysts. Anyway, you'd think they were best friends now, because P wants to write her a letter and get in touch, because K called her and didn't give her current address. (You don't really need a mailing address when you're channelling someone but P won't understand that ... ) This is about where my dad was 5 yrs ago. Except that instead of talking to dead ancestors, he was telling us about his adventures on other planets. Mars was fine, but he only stayed for a few min. and he can't remember whether he had an oxygen mask; Venus was a h*ll-hole, Pluto was way too far away and not worth the trip. At least he was interesting and easy to get along with. P likes to argue and get dramatic. Nothing new there, though. I think it's hitting S, her caregiver, really hard. She wants to argue with-P and bring her back to reality. I told S that it's not going to work. Even P told me that they'd had a disagreement the other day, and what S doesn't understand, is that P will remember the disagreement, and the next one and the next, and eventually not want to be around S at all, even though right now she is totally dependent upon her. So sad. [/QUOTE]
