Life Expectancy: 65 Years
Claud An avid collector of your hopes and worries, a romantic at heart. She thanks her fairies, for blessing her with people who know compassion down to an art. For accepting her for who she is, who never fails to turn up, in times of need as well as happiness, or just there for a loving hug.

stepping up to the game
My poor mother...even in sickness, she still has to "teach" her siblings the "right" thing to do. This is of course, transfigured by me - the one still conscious. However, if my mum knows, she'll be utterly disappointed. I know i would.
My uncle has opened his fat lips to ask my father to contribute to my mum's home care. He made it sound as if he isn't. The pampers and milk cost 550bucks a month excluding disposables like wet tissue, creams, powder and bath.
My dad and my dad's brother is utterly disappointed with my uncle. I told them that i'm not surprised. My dad's gonna hire a maid temporarily to take care of my mum at night because he can't take the tedious duty of waking up to attend to my mum every 2 hours. It's a temporary measure and after having a mini-meeting-before-the-big-meeting just the 3 of us, we decided that this has gone far enough. We're waiting for my uncle to sound out that he no longer willing to pay, and afterwhich, my father and i are willing to take over from here. I'm tired of this whole game of pull and bear.
Meanwhile, i'm still looking for a nursing home so i can place my mum there. I really have no issues whatsoever with cost right now. The priority is my mum. My dad realises that a maid is not qualified to take care of my mum right now. So at least that's a battle won. The next step is to find a nursing home, and to get my fucked-up relatives to understand the severity of the situation.
Today the private nurse asked me in case of emergency, how much oxygen to administer. I looked at her blankly and said i don't know. That was when the urgency of the matter grew.
This, has to end soon. It better be sooner the better.
