She hasn't even asked the doctor what happened. She went into a skilled nursing facility, but her 120 days through Medicare is nearly up. She is at a loss as to what to do. She is extremely passive. Plus I saw her yesterday and she is now refusing to eat. I don't think she'll be with us much longer. I believe her husband is equally unable to make competent decisions and he's a mean SOB with a history of physically abusing her. Her only son (my husband) suffered a brain injury and also is not suitable to make informed decisions. I'm the daughter-in-law watching this dysfunctional circus. No matter how I look at it, for this situation to be resolved I am the one it falls to. No other family lives in this state. Any advice? If I try to take on her guardianship I promise the SOB will fight it. I'm sooooo confused!
Tell the attorney you have little or no money so he will take your case (pro-bono or on contingency) basis. DO THIS NOW, DON't WAIT.
