Just when I thought the week was over I was so wrong. Yesterday Auntie had to go in for a blood transfusion. The procedure took about 3 hours but with check in and check out they were there about 5 hours. One of my sisters took her even when I offered saying it was her turn. It's nice to know she's looking out for me but her week was just as crazy and tiring. I decided to head over to see how my brother was doing since everyone was out of the house and he still lives at home. My plan was to find out if he got off his duff and found a new doctor and to make sure he was going for regular visits since his hospital stay awhile back. When I got over to mom's all but one of my siblings were there, even the one that lives out-of-town. After talking a bit I asked why auntie was left alone and if mom was going back to check on her? I got a "no, she was tired, she went right to sleep, even though I was concerned I left it like the told me to, bad idea. This morning, mom went over to check on auntie, sometime during the night she got up and fell, she couldn't get up and spent the entire night on the floor. Mom couldn't get ahold of the sister that lives the closest because she doesn't pick up the damn phone, so she called home and got my brother. My brother drove down the street and got my sister out of bed, then the both of them proceeded to auntie's. That was followed with calls to my other two sisters and me. When I got over there my aunt was sleeping and they were starting to clean up her apartment, which reeked because of her situation. She had no more options, we cleaned up her apartment and moved her in with mom today. Even when we left mom with her at her apartment and went to mom's to set up, mom tried to fight it but I wouldn't give in.
One sister left with her daughter and son, my brother-in-law and nephew went back to unload stuff from mom's into their shed and my two sisters, me and my niece stayed to move her in. After a break for dinner we started the whole bathing process and then getting her into bed. All I can say is, if this every happens to me, I want to be put in a nursing home.
Today was supposed to for the things I couldn't get done during the week. I didn't get a chance to hit the grocery store leaving me with no caffeine, not a pretty sight and since I hopped into the shower as soon as I got home, I just started laundry. Oh and my dog hates me, my poor baby.
