Yesterday I did a post but I accidentally deleted it. I was so upset, crying on and off for 7 hours. My Aunt is in a rehab and working on her walking. A few weeks ago, she was having super bad pains in her rectum. They seem to have subsided but now she is having other pains and can hardly use her left arm. She left a detailed message for her doctor who ordered that she be taken to the ER to be looked at. I was so happy. In the meantime, her daughter wrote that her mother was accepted into a new assisted living facility so I wrote back that the doctor was sending her mother to the ER. Said daughter, who has hardly had any contact with my Aunt during the last 4.5 months following her heart attack, stopped my Aunt from going to the ER stating that she was fine. The girl has no clue. After crying for hours, I wanted to wash my hands of the whole thing. And you know, her daughter goes to church and made my Aunt apologize and pray with her when my Aunt said she didn't care at the end of a message to her daughter. I am so disappointed in my cousin.
