[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251167, member: 1233"] Lisa, I didn't realize you only had 2 more weeks to go. but with mother in law and the fact that she will only listen to you, the fam doctor being an idiot (get a DNR card from the hospital before they release her! Advance directives can also be done there with help from the staff), and blocked kidneys, you simply MUST cut something out. If mother in law goes home can she get Meals on Wheels or another meal service from the hospital? I know my great aunt in Lima had a service that brought her 14 meals a week that she could just heat up. They were pretty good too. I think they were even priced cheaper than her normal grocery bill AND they were following the diet the doctor recommended. If there was one she didn't like they kept track of that and didn't send that meal again. Has mother in law been evaluation'd for Alzheimers or other diseased that cause memory problems? Hardening of the arteries is one, but I think there is another, not sure. But this might be a good time to get her screened, while she is already scheduled for the MRI and is in the hospital. PLEASE take care of that kidney!!! If nothing else CALL your reg doctor about it and explain you know what it is and simply cannot come in right now due to finals and mother in law in the hospital and child just had surgery. Surely they will be able to help you out if you promise to come in after finals or if it gets worse. Remember, if you don't take care of YOU, you won't be there to help Nichole or easy child or mother in law or even get that degree you really want. Just nagging because I care. Susie [/QUOTE]
