It does sound like things will be better once she is gone. Some people are that way.

At last the car has gone! It was meant to be early this am, but she found
reasons to hang on until we were up and about. Me anyway.
I felt like telling her by this-morning that if we are a pair of witches then she shouldn't test herself against one twice her age. She wanted her Dad to go while she was here, it would prove her right to everyone. Well she pitted her thinking against an older woman who wants Jim around for some years yet and is doing everything I can to ensure it happens. He isn't well, not by a long shot but we are working together and all the time making small steps of progress. A week ago he couldn't lift one leg at a time at all. Now he can lift, bend his knee and let me cream the underside of his thigh down to the foot. Every night I put gentle cream on his legs and feet and they are looking better every day. Then during the day [we, I,] bind them tight and squeeze the fluid back. However it isn't being recycled in his body and coming out as urine which is normal. When I take the bindings off at night it rushes back into his legs...some does leak out and soaks the towels I have under and around him. Things will be better now we are alone!

Good Morning
Kabu, I'm hoping life gets back to normal for you soon. I think your gnomes have been waiting for you in the garden.

Maybe you can let others in the family know that she's bad for Jim and can't stay with you?

You are certainly having a challenging time and I am so sorry that this is so. I hope and pray it gets better very soon for you. What an ordeal.

Kabu....
So sorry that at a time when you need peace and Quiet the most you are saddled with unrest and trials of someone who should know better. Hang in there!

People like that are exhausting. Good on you for dealing kindly with her.

Wow! She is your worst nightmare. I'm sorry you are dealing with this at a time when your hands are already full. She needs to be kept at an arm's length right now, or keep her toxic thoughts to herself. Good luck. (((Hugs)))
