*SHIVERS*
I’ve recently gotten into reading Science Fiction, and between Issac Asimov and Blake Crouch, I am MORE than convinced that we ALL need to save a bullet for ourselves.
So many evil practices in medicine these days; too many people playing ‘god’ with others’ lives. :(
After caring for my Dad the past 15 years, we ALL need to advocate for our old and/or infirm. I was a PEST who everyone knew at his care facility. Please do the same if you have a family member or friend in a care situation. Make sure staff and owners know you are watching them.
Yeah, I sound like a Karen, but having witnessed it all first hand, call me what you will. :)

You don’t sound like a pest; you sound like a dedicated loving daughter.
When advocating for my grandmother (her doctors, the thieving “care givers” living in her home), I became so physically exhausted that I was too tired to speak to friends, family, businesses etc. And I only did that for the last 8 months of her life. I honor your 15 years of dedication!!!
Thank you! The first DECADE was the hardest, while he was living only 2 minutes from me. I finally had to say; ‘Keep a list of things you need and what you want me to do for you this week. You can have me on Thursdays and unless I’m taking you to the hospital, and that’s IT!’
Give a man an inch, LOL!
He then moved to Assisted Living, which was OK, but he had deteriorated a lot by then, then on to a nursing facility, which was a very good one, thanks to my legwork of investigating many of them in the area.
