I'm Gonna Scream!!!

Yes, I am gonna scream.....as loud as I can. This morning I spent two, count them.....2 hours on the phone trying to get my mother in law an appointment with mine and my husband's doctor. I succeeded after much persistance. My husband tells her that she has an appointment with our doc and she pitches a fit. She doesn't want to go downtown, she doesn't want to do anything that will help her. She is having tremors really bad which leads us to believe that she has Parkinson's. She's also having memory problems. She forgot to pay her phone bill 3 months in a row and then wouldn't pay it because of a charge she said that was on there for calls she didn't make. THAT (the calls she didn't make) happened about 8 years ago and it's been long taken care of. Okay, my husband goes to Subway to get her a sandwich and while he was gone, she sent her drunk ass son to another fast food place to get her a chicken sandwich. I'm really pissed that she refuses to go to our doctor because of the time and effort I put in for HER. I told hubby that I resented it and that if she doesn't go, I'm done trying to help.

Grrrrrrr!!!!!!

This reminds Alan Smithee of the film "Away from Her" (2006)
