"ACK!"

I spent 9 hours with my grandmother at the "old-people-not-drug-addicts-rehab" yesterday.

It was a nice visit to sit and talk when she wasn't dozing. When she went to Physical Therapy, I ran out for "linner" (lunch/dinner) and got her some food she could eat; the food at the rehab is just BAD. The staff doesn't even try to apologize for it.

One my aunts came over and took some of my grandmother's laundry to wash at home. Her entire visit was maybe 20 minutes? My grandmom was concerned her clothes wouldn't be back in time for today and my aunt was rather cavalier about it. I really don't think you should agitate your 87 year old mother who is sad, angry and stuck in Hell's Waiting Room.

But that is just my opinion.

My father came by about 6pm with some of the laundered clothes and ate my grandmom's hospital food while she ate the tuna sandwich I got at the market. He ate, watched the local news and left.

What the fuck is wrong with these people????

I cleaned up her room a bit before I left and saw she had a stack of clean clothing; so I folded it and told her where it was and left a note for another aunt who was coming to visit (this one is not an idiot) as to where the clothes are located.

Today I get a phone call from the idiot asking ME, who lives more than an hour away, to go get some more laundry and black pants because my grandmom has too many white pants. Idiot Aunt lives 20 minutes away from the rehab center. I totally freaked out, yelled, cursed and hung up.

I wonder why I have anger management issues?
