I'd say "stop stressing!" Would I believe me, probably not. :)

Stressing is like pushing all your injuries into a dark spot where they could explode ... in Hawkinsonian radiation from what at first was PTSD ... no matter what ordinary people call it the tyrants will deny it exists ... thus that smell of CN combination as Prussian Blue! The repulsion of cyanide and amines and destruction of DNA can be expected ... it is the kill response ... sometimes found on a machine as a red, HOT button! Unless you stop it you will be consumed ...

Some idyllic believers would say stop whining as they go off crushing grapes ... and raising EL in another dimension of thoughtful compassion that the purely sympathetic cannot gather as M pathy! M being thou san count on the beach ... very gritty step considering what hairs we haven't counted as rabi 'd ... hare AI stew?

What can we do with darkly MS Understood word? Put it down on medium nad means as satyr ... mad hatter? Few will to understand anyhow ...

Don't wish to ... as it is the deux 've a work ... dystopian at least!

Not enough rain to register. I made a batch of coconut cookies this afternoon - only ingredients are: angel food cake mix, water, almond extract and coconut.

Wow. That went by quickly. What's the plan for her. Do you know?

No plan...she wants to come home and they want to send her home because they don't want her in the hospital but can't cause I refuse to look after her cause I can't without help and we're not going to get help from Home Care...she can't go into care because there is no opening right now for her required care level...extreme limbo.
 
That's part of the reason there's an issue with hospital beds. If they create more beds in more appropriate spots for people like your mom, they would make a big difference.

Absolutely. That's a big part of the issue. Sadly, I don't see things improving under your current premiere.

I don't see things improving no matter who had gotten in...and our area seems to be worse than some others in the province. One thing that gets me is that If I was a spouse I wouldn't be treated this way by home care so why do they think they can do this cause I'm not a spouse.
 
I agree @BethAnne. It should be the most significant caregiver. Of course proper procedures need to be followed such as consents being signed. They are not onerous and should be part of the initial contact. So, when your mother was admitted for her broken hip, they could have easily (and may have done so) found out who the primary contacts would be. In my interactions with the hospital in Nanaimo, I've been able to give both my husband and sister as contacts. I believe by putting them in my demographic info on their system, I am giving my permission for them to be contacted. I imagine though that if I were hospitalized for longer term, there might be something more formal, a consent form. That's very easy to obtain.

I was actually meaning more along the lines of them expecting me to handle all of mom's physical care alone...with all the emphasis now on mental health and wanting to keep caregivers from burning out, you'd think they'd be more helpful.

I agree. Unfortunately. They are often quite clueless. They have a task (discharge your mother) and what looks like a solution (you look after her). Of course it is not that easy. I'm glad you're standing firm. Your mother has two daughters. It does not have to fall solely on your plate.

And if I really was the deadbeat that they think I am, why would they even think of having me fully responsible?!
