Some of you may remember my Mom was diagnosed with a rare disease that shrinks the brain. (Corticobasildegeneration) How I remember that is beyond me! She is only 67.
Anyway, since she was diagnosed, they started out by taking her licence away about 3 years ago. Then she moved into a semi assistant living home. (still was her own place though) Now, the doctor deemed her incompetent. Fine, I can see that! She is going down hill fast.
So, I had to move her two weeks ago into a place like a nursing home. That was tough, for the both of us. Alot of tears. She had to give up her "home", and her two babies! She has had two cats for 12 years she loves dearly!
The place she is in now is very nice, and she is use to it. They treat her good, take her outside to smoke and help her light her cigs. Mix her a drink when she wants one!
Well, I just got a call from the manager of that place. She said this is the first time ever, in the 10 years she worked there, that "this" happened. They have to have approval from all the residence doctors, to serve them alcohol. She got a letter from my moms doctor saying that due to my moms condition, she will not condone any alcohol consumption by my mom! WTF? She is terminal! So what if she wants to have a damn drink! She has lost her licence, her house, her pets, and her dignity at such a young age! She lives with people who are old enough to be her parents! I say let her die happy!
The manager and staff all agree with me, but by law they cant serve her. I told her, well, if I have to pick her up everyday and bring her her for a drink, I will! She laughed and said, you dont have to take her out, what you serve her in her room is your own business, we dont see a thing!We know she has a bottle in her room, but we didnt see it lmao!
