I have no idea when I last actually updated but my life has been a crazy rollercoaster since both of my senile in-laws have decided to slide down the rabbithole here at once.

My father in law got so mean in December that my BIL moved in with us. We all actually got along fairly well but then Dad had to go to the hospital and Mark moved back to be with Mom. Dad injured his foot 20 or so years ago and separated the bones from two of his toes from the rest of his foot. He must have killed the nerves in his foot because he dropped an 800 pound wood splitter on it and said it never hurt at all. Over the years, the unattached foot bone began to try to poke through the bottom of his foot, making a small injury. He went to lots of doctors and did nothing they advised since HE wanted the toes cut off as he was totally convinced that was all that needed doing. About 3 years ago, Larry starts taking him to the VA, where he is prescribed orthptics and to keep off his foot for a few weeks and use a special boot for a while to allow some healing. He pulled the boot off and refused to wear it all since it didn't look good. This battlee raged all summer last summer until Dad tried to hit Larry.

After Mark was here for 2 months, one of Dad's friend's called and said his foot was horrible looking -he'd showed it to them. On Feb 12, Larry took him to the hospital where they removed one toe. He was so mean, they quickly sent him to a regab/mursing center. He assaulted a caregiver and tried to run over two visitors(not HIS visitors) in the lobby with a wheel chair. That place booted him out, sending him to the local hospital for a psych evaluation, which he'd already had at the first hospital. Big surprise! He has dementia! He is again so mean that they send him to a geriatric psych ward in a hospital over an hour away. He's been there 6 or 7 days and they're sending him to a home in another city almost an hour away for a trial run.

Meanwhile, these idiotic people have no arrangements for their property or sizable bank accounts so Larry nor Mark with inherit a single thing from them - Larry has spent the last month trying to get all their legal affairs under his guardianship and power of attorney so he can take care of them.

Frankly, at this point, I'm for letting the coyotes eat them!

Also, I am a few weeks away from having my upper overdenture that snaps onto my implant posts. This entire process has taken over a year but I finally, for once in my life, have a nice pretty smile. On my LJ, I will include a photo sample of what the implants I have look like. You might get a smiling photo of ME later!

I also have just finished up with the B5 Love Month at LJ -- I wrote several entries myself. We are rewatching Season 1 of B5 as well at B5-Revisited. I do many of the summaries there though I do have a lot of help from [profile] user, even though she is very busy with a move and a new job away from her family. Every 2 weeks, I do a B5 update at [community profile] universe_today. As you might guess, I am a B5 fan and peddling hard to keep the fandom going - it's still pretty popular too.

[profile] tallulahred and [personal profile] ysilme are the wonderful women who are doing the lion's share of the work at the new and improved OEAM. Thanks to all of you who are helping by uploading your own works or helping with the migration. If you have work there and would like to upload your own stuff OR help, contact me and I'll fix you right up. I'm hoping to throw an online premiere and grand opening when it's all done. If you have ideas about that, I'd love to hear them as well. Just email me.

And pain, hip, back... I really need to take some weight off but with all this stress, i eat more! No doctor seems willing and/or able to help either. I have a terrible intolerance for many, many meds and inflammation drugs rank near the top of those!

It's almost one and I need to finish up.

And don't even ask me about politics!
