This is a recollection of what transpired since I officially was blogging. I had stopped blogging about Dad's situation because of altercations between Dad's side of the family and Mom.
Dad was getting acupressure treatment. It was going fine. One evening I get a phone call from Mom saying Brother is having Dad get acupuncture starting the next Saturday. Mom's all upset saying she doesn't think he's ready. She doesn't want to take the chance and have complications due to any infection or other issues that may arise.
Brother send an email saying Dad is to receive acupuncture this weekend and that the Aunts will arrange. No discussion.
Mom tells Brother she doesn't want it after speaking with me. I'm sure Brother took it that I convinced her otherwise. Mom sends email stating that she doesn't want it happenning.
Brother replies to email saying she is going against Dad's explicit wishes. Brother states that this is what Dad wants. She, as the Power of Attorney, should respect what he wants. I reply to Brother saying that Dad is not in any state of mind to determine what his medical needs are. The hospital has already made it clear that he cannot act on his own behalf. I call Brother an idiot.
This is family.
