I still have a bottle of shampoo that my mom had while she was in the Extended Care Hospital.
IT's got her name on it and I refuse to toss it out.
--------
I have a sister that is an LVN.
Let me preface this by saying that I probably could not have changed my mom's dressings, but I did change them for my dad before he lost his toes to diabetes, So I do understand her not wanting to deal with my mom's condition-it's very painful to see someone you love suffer.
While my dad was dying and ma came home to pass? She never once came to see them or to say goodbye.
I resent the EFF out that.
To this day she will swear that my mother told her never to show up at the house again.
I know that is the biggest lie on the planet.

Here is one last tidbit in this story.
My mom didn't want to be cremated, she wanted to be buried next to dad.
My sis' boss gave my sister a check to cover the expenses for the funeral.
My brother went into a tizzy and went off on my sister-he took care of all the 'arrangements' - to the point where I could not attend the funeral becasue i was involved in a work dispute/grievance that I could not miss out on.
I asked him to resched the arrangements and he said, "no".
The last time I went to see her plot, she still has no placard on the grave.
I went to see about paying for one and could not because his name is on the
papers when she was buried.
I let it go until now and that will be one of my complaints in addition to the money he took....That was the least she deserved and almost two years later, she has no placard on the grave marker.
whew......
