Worried
Not everyone is celebrating this holiday season.
Drew and I have a friend. She’s 65, single, no children, lives alone. She’s been estranged from her sister, brother-in-law and nieces (a fight over money when their parents died.)
Awhile ago she asked Drew for a huge favor. She wanted her attorney to prepare a health care proxy and power of attorney in which Drew would be named as the person who would act as her representative if she became incapacitated.
You know where this is leading.
She had a medical emergency which landed her in the hospital. And then she was discharged to a rehab facility, where she will remain for at least a month, maybe longer. She is currently unable to take care of herself. Drew has had to take control of her situation.
Drew has experience, he had to do this for his father and his uncle. Our friend is in good hands.
And she and her sister are back on speaking terms!
But the whole situation is disconcerting.
Stay tune.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think you understand what we are about to be dealing with
DeleteHopefully she'll be able to take care of herself soon. She's relatively young! I also hope she and her sister remain on speaking terms. I know how that can be, I have two brothers, but one has rather estranged himself from the rest of the family. To hear him tell it, it's everyone else's fault.
