Step mother in law-- psycho

Just to warn you


So as you know I talk "Doctor" to the medical teams for the family. So I got a hold of the Dialysis center that does Sis in law treatments when she isn't in the hospital. I was told by the Dialysis center she is trying to get up when she shouldn't pulling and clamping lines Center tried to ask the home for someone (nurse's aid) to come with him they don't provide. So I call Father in law but Stepmother answered. I explained to her she and FIL should talk to the nursing home to see if the social worker to see SIL qualified for home health assistance so someone can meet her at her treatment keep her distracted while treatment is happening. She is like why shouldn't the nursing home provide an aide. I said they didn't. She then is like I will talk to the center administration surely they should have someone to do it.

Talk to Stepmom today. SIL is acting out always seeking food nursing home is this due to the brain issue and then she explain the nursing home (which has gotten the message I am pissed that it seems hardly anyone is answering or return my voicemails-will do better per stepmother) indicated she is acting out at times they are going to speak to the Nurse practitioner about a claiming medication. Stepmother goes on to explain she doesn't see why they are talking to the nurse when a doctor has to prescribe the medication. Before I can explain the nurse can and probably is the medical professional on site she starts talking about why SIL just can't be restraint to get her to behave. I am like PA laws do not allow it that if ever used it is very rare and min. Well, how do I know she wants to know the law and if it i allowed she will have FIL pay the Lawyer another $2600.00 to make them follow the rule and just restrain her when needed. I tried to remind her I have worked in home health settings and other settings I know a nursing home will not be bullied into doing something illegal and will kick SIL out. She said she is looking up the law and hung up on me.

End of life issues are beyond sad. I've been there. It's a shock. Most of us face this without knowing what's coming. Forgive me for making paragraphs from your OP. I needed to do this to understand.
