I have been away trying to get a grip on things. My sister is really having issues and Mom has been taking so much in and never closing off access. I am so proud of Mom. Here she is with oxygen, nebulizer, "issues" and musters up snuff to put up with sisters bipolar, med non compliant Mania.
My sister can not seem to help herself. We have had two unsuccessful attempts to better her mania with a hospital stay. The first time she called the police on the nurses saying they were abusing her. The second(recent) she said a patient sexually assaulted her and she is filing charges. It happened out of eye and ear shot of staff and cameras. A women's shelter is formally investigating and protecting her.

Here is Mom all worn out and stewing. We are out of ideas and options. I am trying to help her cope. My Dad is not here anymore. In some ways I think this is why she is free to follow through with how she wishes.

It is so hard to see sad elderly especially Mom. I keep wishing she would insult me or something so we can get back to our familiar stress.
