Hi everyone it’s been a while since I posted. FIL has been approved for Medicaid long term family care but when we met since his POA is not activated he had the choice of living on his own with a 1000 budget and he has to take care of everything himself, family can help. But this is going to make work for us. The supervisor was able to convince him to go with managed care . There are two options he lives alone and services are set up or moving to assisted living . I have found a really nice place that takes his Medicaid managed care and there is a bed available. He will be evaluated again with the case manager and nursing they will give him what they think. He didn’t even remember they were here and once again lunch he didn’t want it second time this week. It’s getting worse, I have notes everywhere. He said he takes his medication. He does when I put it out and bring directly to him. He is starting to get so negative. Then my mom. She fell a couple weeks ago twice she was black and blue. But I looked at her leg and her foot where the amputation was. I was very concerned so I called the foot doctor can’t get her in until october 19. Well by having her doctor see it she has an appointment Tuesday. She has to wrap the foot up past her ankle because her leg is so swollen skin is breaking. I had to come back for my appointment tomorrow. I guess our kinda craziness we were adjusting but everything is going to happen all at once and what if I can’t do it. How do we activate my FIL POA from the little I have told you guys what do you think. Plus there is so so much more. Thank you miss you all. Also my moms is so depressed. She said my daddy is lucky he has no worries. I am afraid she is giving up. She is seeing a therapist. I am getting overwhelmed but trying to take it as it comes
I feel so bad for your mom. I wish there was some way you could get her into AL as well. I know what it’s like to feel hopeless. She is a strong lady. Remind her of that, and that we are all thinking of her and wishing her peace.
Hang in there!
If Mom is competent to make her own decisions, she can still give you legal Power of Attorney. That does not mean you will be in control of her life and decisions. She can still say yes or no. You will just be there to help if she needs it. You can talk with her and make decisions with her about what is the best for her to do, like maybe go someplace where they can make sure she is safe and won’t fall and hurt her legs or feet and make sure she takes her medicine. And she won’t have to worry about stressing out you or Lee. And this will be easier on you. I know that’s what your mom wants. As for FIL, just let all those people handle all that endless paperwork. I’ve made 5 sets of copies of THE SAME FORMS for the IRS. Thank God I got a copier at Target for $39.00. 😡😡😡 it’s such a pain. OMG.
I’m sending you much love and many prayers that this will soon work out. Do you have a dog? Kiss and hug your dog. That’s what I do. It sure helps.
We do "percentages" for both of our farms": 33% renter A, 33% renter B, and 34% Mom because Mom wanted to sell the corn and soybeans herself.
As usual, sending hugs and prayers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
