Just got great news about my niece and her fiance

Social services paid him a visit in his hospital room and did a lengthy memory and cognition test and he passed with flying colors.

The social worker said something about his mom and he told the social worker that mom is not allowed to make decisions for him. They are in the process of drawing up paperwork for my niece to be given power of attorney.

Additionally he is going to finally have the surgery on his leg that he needs, they allowed him to sign the authorization, and are scheduling the surgery for his pelvis for next week.

His mom is home for the weekend and is going to be PISSED when she gets back on Monday.

1. what gives?? what's wrong with his mom?? how old is your niece's fiance??

and this is why we all need to say what we want in writing i guess.... I am glad that this guy is able to make these decisions for himself. sometimes i wonder about families.... I just thank god that my family never tried to get between my now husband and myself.

Back in 97 when I had my car accident bob and I weren't married and my family wouldn't even have thought to try to keep him away from me or to take over anything!! And they weren't that fond of bob at that time either. There was some friction, let's say between me and my family at the time about bob. but they never tried to keep him from seeing me or anything and never tried to control my care or anything.

The defrocked warped primitive:

4. Some families aren't able to swallow their dislike and do bar life partners from seeing loved ones. That's why gay marriage has been so important.

Otherwise, you have to count on being sneaked in by a sympathetic nurse, something patient-centered caregivers do more often than not.

If you're ever in that situation, remember that nurse is putting her job on the line, so stay very low key and don't mention it to anyone.

7. Very long story.

He's 33 and was in a bad car accident about a month ago. His mom has tried everything she can to keep my niece from seeing him or being informed of and included in choices about his care and they have lived together for around 2 years and have a 6 month old daughter. He was pretty out of it until recently and the hospital just today decided to honor his wishes above his mothers.

Good Lord.  Once again, every crisis, even extremely personal ones, go straight up on the DU board.

Whadaya expect ma'am?  They're DUmmies. You couldn't possibly expect them to solve the normal problems of everyday life BY THEMSELVES, could you?

[GOBUCKS]

I don't think the DUmmy should be calling this great news.

Now that they have pissed on the shackup's mother by getting a power of attorney,
mom is likely to stop paying the bills. Who's gonna pay rent on the singlewide?

Am I reading this right? This guy is shacking up with his niece? If that's the case, no wonder Mom is just a little pissed! This ****er is pretty close to a pedophile! To say nothing of incest!

I think the girl is DUmmy Bighart's neice, and there is no relation between the niece and her fiancee.  So, unless I'm reading it completely wrong, no incest.

Lets hope not. Then again they're are DUmmies who defend ACORN from what its accused of. Of course those posts are getting pulled.

Kind of sad if you think about it.

AH! Now I see! It was me reading it wrong! Thank God for small favors! Although it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

They are totally incapable of handing things on their own.

They have to do it with the assistance of the Collective or they would sit there in their own feces all day every day.

Sounds like someone needs to pull up their big girl panties and move on
