Just heard from G. The social worker at the hospital is encouraging him to put N in a nursing home. He's talked to N's daughter, and she is for it.
I have to agree. Every time her mobility is reduced, she gets *more* demanding. G seldom get a full time of sleep - he's always having to do every little thing for her. I've spent two or three hours with her, and it's not just to G.
She's my friend, but she's being a demanding, drama queen ass. She has forgotten about thinking about others, which would have horrified the old N, but the needing, "helpless" N won't even hear about.
If she really needs 24x7 care, her friends and family just plain don't have the resources to do it themselves. It's a bitch to have to say that, but the alternative is neglect, physical burnout on G's part, and possible accidental self injury on Nina's part.
Who knows, maybe at a nursing home she'll get to be a nice, sociable retired HPS for the people there. I'm hoping this all works out...
