The doctor is coming on Thursday to the home to do a competency evaluation. I need to tell her, but haven't yet? How do I tell her? We have tried to tell her that this was going to happen, but she won't listen. Now it is happening and I need to tell her but don't want to live with the anger for two days. Any suggestions. I am filing guardianship after the doctor signs the paperwork. I don't know why this is so hard because she has been very difficult to live with and will not let anyone come into the home. So this is what I need to do for her safety and to move forward on selling her house and taking care of the bills at the house and to do her taxes.
So glad you are going forward to help your Mother!
This is a good thing!
Yes, hard to do, but still a good thing!
Go forward without fear and trepidation, and let us know how well the doctor handled it.
Someone is coming to see how you are getting along here. It will be at 10:00 tomorrow morning and last about an hour.
Doing the best thing for an incompetent loved one can be extremely hard emotionally. Hang in there!
I'm the one that is stress and she appeared to be fine which was completely opposite of what has happened in the past when people came into the home. This woman has been angry 24/7 for the past eight months and the past two days she has been happy and joking around with us. I would rather her be angry and mad about this, but then again does that sound weird?
I have sold mthr's land, gifted her house, and paid her taxes with her POA. She was wandering to start with, but now is late stage 6 Alz.
Do you have an attorney representing you in the Guardianship matter? Did the doctor advise if his report will be provided to you before the court hearing? If the report is not what you expect, I'd get legal advice on how to contest it, how much weight it carries, and basically how to prevail in court.
