It has been awhile
SO, today is going pretty shitty. The first call of the day was my mom telling me that my aunt is in a coma. Then the second call is my grandma telling me that my dad has been institutionalized for the fourth time this month, blah.
The aunt thing was kind of expected she is in her eighties and she has not been doing well for awhile, but it is still sad. I'm pretty sad about my dad though, for as long as I can remember my dad has been diagnosed with bi-polar disease, until recently when the doctors decided that he is schizophrenic and switched his meds. My dad was not always doing the greatest, but up until about three months ago when they re-diagnosed him he was really doing well..
Today my grandman tells me that he was found passed out on the sidewalk in front of his apartment building with no oxygen (he has emphysema). They rushed him to the hospital and apparently he was really fucking drunk (my dad has been sober for about 10 years). I guess she went into his apartment and it was really nasty, the refridgerator, air conditioner (he lives on the third floor) and phone were not working (i've been trying to call him). I guess he has been calling his neighbor and telling her she is a bitch for messing with his phone line, getting money out of his bank account and giving it to random people (in tens and twenties) and sleeping in the RTA bus stops.
This is the same man who three months ago was saving all his extra social security money (treating himself to nothing) and giving it to me and my brother for school, regularly going to a stop smoking support group, going to the library almost daily and volunteering at a local social agency. You fucking tell me that these doctors know what they are doing? All they do each time he goes to the hospital is up his dosage of his meds for schizophrenia, you think THEY HAVE THE WRONG FUCKING DIAGNOSIS? My grandma keeps trying to tell them that he was much better on his bi-polar meds and none of them will fucking listen to her. My poor 86 year old grandma who is driving all around cleveland trying to take care of my dad, and all she gets in return for it is doctors who won't listen to her and my dad (who is not in his right mind) calling her names and telling her to stay out of his life.
I just want to be in Cleveland right now trying to help, but I can't and it sucks, I will be in cleveland shortly though, I have decided to go to Grad school at Cleveland state beginning next August if I get accepted. When I am back in Cleveland I am going to give these doctors a piece of my fucking mind, maybe you can push around a 50 year old mentally diseased man and an 86 year old woman, but you can't fuck with a 22 year old social worker!
Alright, just needed to vent, hope everyone is doing well...
