Honestly YES YES YES I DID DEAL WITH A AGING GRANDMOTHER! Who for my entire life was damn near always stronger than me in her 70's and 80's! Her mind was sharp and I'll tell you something that alot of people who have shared similar stories of their parents and grandparents of these ages THEY ALL ARE STUBBORN!! BULL HEADED! AND ARE EITHER REFUSING OR "SCARED" of MEDICINE!!! My fathernlaw as we speak has stage4 kidney disease and refused dialysis!!!! He says that "THEY ARE GOING TO PUT STUFF OTHER THAN MEDICINE IN HIS BODY AND WHEN ITS HIS TIME TO GO ONLY GOD KNOWS!" like REALLY!? But one piece of advice for YOU IS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY TO CHANGE HER MIND!! But SINCE YOU ARE HER DAUGHTER AND EVEN THOUGH HER HUSBAND (Your Dad is Living) but they are both ELDERLY...YOU AS THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE ADULT WHO IS OF *this part is most IMPORTANT*!!! OF SOUND BODY AND MIND!!!!!! In the ongoing struggles with BOTH OF THEIR HEALTHCARE!!!!! You CAN'T GIVE HER THE CHOICE! When You take her to her regular doctor, ask to speak to them in private...they will have NO PROBLEM DOING THIS! You explain everything your going through...what she's doing to You (Ex: NOT ALLOWING PROPER AND SAFE CARE OF HER) AND it's going to affect your father's health at some point as WELL!!! If it hasn't already! It's affecting your mental health because she's so difficult...I promise you HER DOCTOR AND BY LAW...WILL HAVE TO TAKE YOUR SIDE BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO...IT'S ALSO NOT SANITARY WITHOUT PROPER HEALTHCARE TO ASSIST IN HER DAILY LIFE WITH THE COLOSTOMY BAG!! This is Something Myself and My Mom had to do for My Grandmother and After she realized We were only wanting the best for her care...the hospice people really cared and did GREAT WORK...SHE ACTUALLY LOVED ALL THE ATTENTION IN THE END! Im going to pray for you and definitely your mom and dad and please take my advice and I HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET THE COURAGE TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IT'S GOING TO HELP EVERYONE'S LIFE I PROMISE YOU!!!!!!❤
