I spent the afternoon by my grandparents. I also happened to be there while the health aid was there as well as the case manager

sounds like they are straight out of a sitcom. :) and :(
dont know how you put up with it...

[yeishlitikvah]

they are something else...for better or worse.

honestly, I'll take this over us having 'real conversations'

I also prefer this over their anger and vitrol that was directed my way when my mom passed away and my being religious made me 'difficult'.

I do have to be greatful that she is 86 and he's going to be 91 in december.

It was great because my grandmother stopped mid thought, and started to get upset.

I said SHE WAS, ie since I knew her 14 years.

So my grandmother shrugged and went back to arguing/explaining to the case worker, why she didn't feel the need to take her meds. ie I feel fine, why the hell do I have anxiety meds, (it's nice to know the whole family is on xanax) and don't I have ariset(pre-alzheimers med)

Ha ha!

I'm so greatful that my grandparents have reached the age they have independently.

Simultaneously, I also better understand just how twisted my mother's youth must have been.

IT's also strange talking about my grandparents so bluntly, but we have a raport as a family, where to someone else the way we speak might be construed as disrespectful, we're rather prone as a lot to colorful language.

LOL!

Now I understand why my mother maintained that our family put both the FUN and the FUNC (dysfunction?) in FUNERAL.
