Update on Mom (they have no clue)

You have my sympathy and best wishes, in addition to the ongoing
purrs for your parents. Your brother and mother have effectively put
you in a no win situation. That can be very painful and impossible
to reconcile. Maybe you can get that across to your brother.

My brother isn't pushing me to visit because he wants us to have a warm and
fuzzy reunion. It's all about getting them to meet with attorneys. It's
not our business and Mom wants him to butt out.

They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually
told her when I spoke with her. But they started her on some
medications and she
hopes she'll get to go home tomorrow. She's still bleeding to the
point of
having to wear adult diapers (doesn't sound that great to me, but a
colonoscopy isn't exaclty a non-invasive procedure). She said she
feels fine and ate a hearty breakfast and most of her lunch. YAY!

She'll be fine; I'm convinced of it. But she doesn't want me to
come down there. I'm being urged and urged and urged again by my
brother, to the point I'm not answering the phone when he calls.
Mom says a visit from me right now would agitate my father. He's
very frail. And she's the one who
has to deal with him. It's a bit like a soap opera. I'm adhering
to my mom's wishes.

Thanks for the good wishes. Keep up the purrs, please. Mom for the
medication to work and for my dad to be a tad more cognizant.

Purrs continue, for her, for your father and for you. Your mother is
obviously a strong woman. I think you're right to honor her wishes.
It's too bad your brother is giving you such a bad time. Being
caught in the middle is awful.

Joy

Actually Mom is rather timid. (I obviously take after my dad!) But my
brother has stopped calling me. Since Monday he'd been calling 3-4 times a
day asking had I made plans to go there yet? I think Mom finally told him
*firmly* to put a cork in it! LOL

Thank you mom! Glad she was feeling up to doing that.

Siblings anyway. They want something done they can't do themselves and they
try to make it their mission in life to make it your mission in life. So
they can guilt you later when it was their idea in the first place.
