Bad News - Update

Moms was referred to a questionable eye “specialist” and a treatment plan was recommended to allegedly delay blindness. At the last minute, moms canceled the appointment. The treatment, apparently not guaranteed to be successful, is costly and most likely not covered by medical insurance.

From what can be ascertained, the bro overreacted adversely upon learning that moms refused further treatment. In a rash decision, he decided that moms would be evicted (from the home that was gifted to him by moms) when blindness finally occurs. Sadly, moms should be able to make independent health decisions without any coercion.

There are other familial issues at play, which are directly and indirectly involved. However, those particular issues are beyond the scope of Notes. Discussion of family topics has been mummified as stated previously in Notes unless the latter is deemed important.

The tragic turn of events provoked a severe, albeit temporary, intolerance for stupidity-at-large. No details are necessary. Eventually, “cool heads” prevailed. Moms’ blindness will not happen overnight. Loss of vision will be gradual, which could take up to several years. In the meantime, there are options that can be exercised:

• First, moms could submit applications to select “old folks homes” and be put on the active waiting lists. Upon acceptance, moms could move into the facility at her convenience. Some of the “old folks homes” have a permanent case worker who serves the residents. Moms could then initiate the transition to an assisted care facility when necessary.
• Second, moms could move into the existing “old folks home” cell by being added to the current lease. This provision could also be invoked upon sudden eviction by the bro. Once, moms is settled, the lease would be modified again to only include moms. Other parties would return to motorhomelessness.

In the meantime, though, moms can monitor any increase in vision impairment. A projected time span can then be extrapolated. Moms can subsequently decide when to pursue the first option. The transition would be smooth. No drama. No stupidity.
