My daughter is involved in a nightmarish situation with
her father and his wife. I have a smidgen of feeling for
her father because we grew up together. He is 89 and deep
into alzheimer's. His other daughter has medical power
of attorney so she put him in assisted living where he
constantly gets lost. His wife, Linda's stepmother no
longer wanted to live with him but she was forced into
assisted living by Sherry. So now she has either had
a stroke or her body is messed up from anorexia. She
falls down all the time but refuses to use a cane.

The step mother was mean to Linda so she is not going to
be involved in her medical problems but she has to visit
her Dad every night even though she has a grown, severely
autistic son at home. She and her husband take turns
going. He is in the hospital now because a CNA put his
catheter in wrong and injured him badly.

I guess the moral to this story is that life is gonna
get you somehow when you are old and helpless, despite
having plenty of money and good health insurance. There
are lots of things worse than dying.
