RIP Nana
Well after 7 years of being with us in Texas, Nana lost her battle with cancer 2 days before Thanksgiving. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago. The type of cancer she suffered from was only treatable with surgery. Nana opted to forego surgery due to her tendencies to get Staph Infections after any and every procedure she had done in the past. In 2002 when she had her hip replaced, the infection was so virulent that her hip had to be replaced again a couple of months later in 2003 and she became deathly ill with her kidneys starting to fail.
At the time of her passing, the cancer had metasticized throughout her body. She spent the last 3 days of her life receiving care in a hospice and was kept sedated and never regained consciousness. She died peacefully.

Mama Drama Complete with Lawyers
Well my darling mother in her never ending quest to make her mothers and my lives a living hell contacted lawyers in San Antonio from her home in Maine and told them that my grandmothers life was in danger.
I got a hysterical phone call from my grandmother and her nurse because all tehse people just showed up at her door. To fully understand the gravity of the impact of these actions you would have to know my grandmother. She is in her 80's, does not handle change at all and is a drama queen.
She is monitored 24 hours a day and we pay for private nurses from 7AM-7PM. Between the assisted living rent, the private nurses, her meds, Klondike bars, hair salons and whatever else she asks for her care ranges from $2500-3000 a month. She's had a catheter for over 2 years now with NO urinary infections at all! Yup, I guess my mothers right, we are abusing her.
Forget the fact that my mother hardly ever calls her (once every month or so) and when she visited San Antonio last October she drove over to see her friends almost every night (right down the street from her mother) and never once stopped in to see her mother much less even let her mother know she was in town, I guess she would know if hermother was being abused or neglected.
