I left work early and went to see my MIL in the hospital. She told me that she had refused all treatment and was going to die. I dont know what came over me, but I said thats your only child syndrome coming out. She asked what I was talking about. I said you are only thinking about yourself. Never mind that my daughter counts on you for encouragement and she needs it to get through college or im gonna be stuck with her for the rest ofmy life. Never mind that you have 2 great grand....

Children on the way and are sending the message to their mothers that you don't care enough to stick around and meet them. Never mind all the people who want you to stick around. You just do what you want for you.
She gave me the stink eye of death but and cried, and told me she can't for the life of her understand what her daughter sees in me. I said put your oxygen back in before you suffer brain damage that you can ill afford. After some banter she pushed the call button ....

And when the nurse arrived announced that she would take her meds and cooperate with treatment.
She is still going to need to go to a nursing home, and the one she had picked out is a bit over budget. I told her that was easily fixed. I spoke to my SIL and her place will be ready Thursday. So we'll see what happens. End

That woman loves you. Needs you and trusts you too.

Great job.
