Good for you Redtail.

My nextdoor neighbor's husband's condition is similar to Terri Shiavo (brain dead/coma) and was in a nursing home. He "fell" out of his wheelchair, and they claimed it was an accident. Then they tried to justify it to my friend that they were too busy with other patients.

The folks at the nursing home had to call security to escort my loud and angry neighbor out of there by force because she was screaming "WHAT IF THAT WERE YOUR HUSBAND?"

Naturally, my neighbor took him out of there and she cares for him by herself. She's way past the point of exhaustion, but so far she hasn't had any "accidents" with him.

Your father is in my prayers.
