just so i don't miss anybody who is interested.... my results from the ekg and the echogram showed a severe leak in a heart valve.
i am going for an angiogram on the 15th but the cardiologist says the liklihood is great that i will need open heart surgery.
rare for a 30 year old but if necessary, it is necessary.. no word yet on the results of the blood work for liver enzymes and hepatitis.

Waiting,
If you were ever at a DC and handed an apostate pamphlet along with say 20 other active JW's . Would you tell the others that you either A-) Threw it in the trash, or B-) Never accepted it in the first place?
That was the point I was trying to make. If it is read, they are not going to openly admit that they read it. I am assuming all of this of course, but based on my years as a JW I am sure it is a spot on assumption.

Nancee,
At the bottom of the letter was the URL to the silentlambs website.
Room 215,
It is expected the brothers throw the letter in the trash, they must state tehy did this. I think that the ones who read it are way more than those who trash it. As I said in my first post here, there are many dedicated elders, those are the ones this letter is for. I know that Brooklyn will advice the elders to dismiss this as work of apostates, but a seed of doubt will be planted by Brooklyns own words: "Please be assured of our continual prayers on YOUR behalf as YOU carry out YOUR weighty responsibility to sheperd the flock that God entrusted to YOUR care."

yesterday, before we went to dinner at mak and sabine's, a friend called me from the kh to warn me they had mom on the phone link for the meeting (their meeting is at 4pm).
i went downstairs to see what she was up to, since i had taken the phones out, to stop her from calling everyone in town to complain about the 'abuse she was suffering' at the hands of her daughter (me).
she was standing over the speaker phone (i had taken the hand set off), and she was furiously pushing buttons, and sobbing.
Mulan,
I agree with Princess, they are not going to just let her sign over DPOA over to this woman. Trust me, those in the geriatic community are very familiar with how the mind works after a certain stage. I have seen people come into the nursing home, or even into the assisted living part of the home against their will. It is really sad, but the BEST thing for all involved. She will adjust, and if Lana continues to be a problem for her, they can decline her to visit. And they can do that...you can do that if she is admitted. Perhaps without her control, your mother may lean on you more and you can have a semi normal relationship. You gave it your best shot, you tried and continue to try. There is only so much you can do, and as JT said, add the wacky religion in the mix and you are doomed.
((((((hugs))))

Mulan,
That is the Baker Act I was talking about. The other day, when she was going crazy and called the police, she could have taken her then by saying those two words. It is a temporary, 24 hour(maybe 48) stay in a mental hospital so she can be evaluated. In this facility they will be able to evaluate her and then place her in a home. To the best of my knowledge, this is for every state. But do a search and see if it is active in your state.
As for getting her dressed and taking her...perhaps you should do that. Get her all dressed, tell her you are taking her to lunch, forgetting to mention you are taking her for a psych consult(that way you aren't lieing) then when she is in the car tell her. From what you said she will go ballistic, then YOU call the police. Or you can enjoy the good days with her, and next time she acts up insist they commit her.
As for not getting any financial support from her now, you have many options to do so. You CAN claim her and your father as a dependent, if their income is unable to support them outside of your home. It is highly unlikely that it does, when you include 24 hour aide care that they would be paying out of pocket if not for you. Also there are grants that you can apply for to add medical supplies, even new heating systems, air conditioning, new flooring, you name it! The social worker should alert you to all of this, if she has not she is being shabby. If your mother does go into a home, they usually have an individual social worker for each residence. From what I have heard, be prepared to getting many calls from her until your mother is settled in. Trust me though, they are used to seeing many different personalities, they will be able to see what she is doing. It may take a bit of time, but they will see.
