[quote=Anonymous]He hasn't been home since January, so your sister isn't living with him at the moment. He actually sounds pretty miserable from your description. In addition to catching MRSA which is not uncommon in hospital or rehab settings, he's confused, weak, stressed. So I guess I don't understand why not bring him home where he might fare better cognitively and therefor physically? And maybe you can drive the 200 miles twice a month and help out? And your other sisters can help out as well? And before you lambast me, I take care of my 86 year old parent, work full time, and have three kids. So I know this is not easy. It's incredibly challenging. But I'm not hearing a lot of solutions coming from you, just how problematic your sister is because she won't do what you think she should. [/quote]
