"I can have that car take me to any medical appointments that you can't get me to:!" She says.....
"Great I have to take "V" to the orthodontist on the 8th at the same time you make your doctors appointment". "Okay" she says "I will call for a ride." GREAT!!!!!
A week later, "so on the 8th you need a ride to the Doctor, have you called for it yet?...."
"No I will call on the 3rd, I have it on my calendar."
On the 4th mid afternoon, "So you have your ride all set up to take you on Tuesday?"
: "I just need to confirm the appointment" 5 minutes later she walks out.... "So the car place could not find my appointment and then I called the Doctor and they said I didn't have an appointment, so they switched it to the 9th at 10:30 am. You can take me then right?"
"Well, no I can't I'm picking up my niece on the 9th so they can go to Coachella remember?, I can't really go to Doctor's appointments until Tuesday the next week."
We heard the story or something like it a few more times, ending with I moved my appointment to the 9th and I have the car confirmed to get me. This is the problem with her making her own appointments, but still feel I need to have it worked out to take her every where.
Tonight at dinner with "B" as to tattle on me "Now why can't you take me to the doctor on the 8th because you niece is coming into town or something?"
"It is because you made the appointment at the same time that I have to take "V" or the orthodontist. I can't take you on the 9th because you changed it to the same time I am picking up my niece."
"Well, that's fine I have the car scheduled to take me on the 9th, and my appointment has been changed. You know the doctors office and the car place screwed everything up."
"Okay, as long as you have it worked out, and you need to have a car take to the other appointments that are the next week to remember. I am not driving to far away appointments."
2 hours later here she comes into the kitchen :"now when can you not take me to the doctor?"
"pretty much from the 8th - the 14th, we are going to have company"
"you mean to tell me that you are just not going to take me anywhere, not to the drug store for my pills or anything, what am I suppose to do just stay in my room for a week!" if only I could get the tone of voice this was said in, but let me tell you it was the start to the roller coaster dipping far down.
"I can take you some places but I am not going to fill the whole time running you all over to doctors!"
"WELL, what do you expect me to do move out, what do you need my room, so you are going to just not help me so I move out while they are here. I paid my rent! You just are going to refuse to help me! That is not right, you can't do that to me!"
"Listen I am not going there right now, you need to calm down, it is late and you didn't have a good day, so you are not going to take it out on me."
Off she goes mumbling about how she is old and sick and needs help, and if I am not going to help her......
The problem is that someone is coming to visit besides her precious "N". How dare my family come see us.....
Oh well..... Tomorrow is a new day, and there has always to be a problem!
