Please give her my best. Yes, sounds like she's needed a lot of TLC, but at least the hip is doing well! Now it's just a matter of getting back strength in that leg, and that comes back fast.

Glad the surgery was smooth. The recovery should be smooth too. I hope we were able to calm her fears and encourage her. I was fine at home with some devices from our Senior Center's lending closet and DH helping me. A visiting nurse came to regulate blood thinner meds and a PT came to help with rehab exercises. I was out shopping for groceries with DH a week after one of my hips was done. I hope she can stay home. (Certainly less chance of infections.) What's the story on her other hip?

Thank you for telling me what I know should have happened long ago. My sister and brother-in-law are both lawyers.We haven't wanted to upset Diane right now because of her health.But, we are going to ask Bob to help us get him out of here.Like I said, I don't want them to take them, I just want to know how to get him out.When Ken was in the hospital back in March because of taking to many pain pills, I asked the nurse case worker how I could get him out. She told me that because he was a relative and that I had let him move in, the only way to get him out was to take him to court. That doesn't seem right, and because of mine and Jim's health issues, I didn't go further.You asked me if he had mental or physical issues that would make him encapable to take care of himself. He somehow graduated from HS, has held jobs, only ones that Jim or my Dad got for him, and is not so much in pain from his back that he can't work. Sears let him go because he told them that he could only come back to work if he could work for two hours and be able to sit for 20 minutes when he needed to. The disability that he is getting is from insurance that he is payin #179. a month. It is not Government disability.As far as mental, he is really a filthy person.He doesn't shower, my children came over and tore up the carpet in his room, and painted his room purple, what he wanted. And his room is filthy already.I put his microwave and toaster oven on the porch because it is filthy and I don't want it in my house.Shortly after he moved in,I found bugs in the house so made him pay for an exterminator. He pays that every month.Sorry for venting, but that is about all I have done since he has been making our life even more miserable lately. He told me he is perfectly happy here, isn't leaving, and I can't make him leave. New Years resolution. He will leave here. We have looked into HUD houses, but they do inspections and you have to keep the place clean. So, if he doesn't and once he is out, he is not coming back. My Jim use to be a locksmith and this will be one happy job for him Thanks again, for listening.

Oh, no. I haven't been to FB in awhile and had no idea. I will miss her. Such a lovely lady. She used to work for the American Quarter Horse Association, and when I had questions about one of my horses, she was very quick to get me some help via her cousin who still works there. I know I could have contacted the association myself but before I could, Granlan got the answers for me. I helped her awhile back with one of her cats, sent meds for it. I am so very sorry to read about this.
