Here in Canada we are having our Thanksgiving weekend. Mom (Tom's) has been in the hospital for a rather lengthy stay because post hip surgery she became badly infected and needed a lot of antibiotic treatment. In the meantime, sis-in-law and I became acquainted. Ya, this family is really that disfunctional. We planned that together WE would hold Thanksgiving and spring mom from the hospital for the event. (August conversation): Her place if the weather was nice so we could eat in the garage and avoid stairs. My place if the weather was bad as I have only 3 small well placed steps (ALS prep, MY house is disabled friendly).
In the meantime, last Friday mom gets to come home to stay. I emailed sis-in-law to ask about our plans and see if --since mom is home -- we should hold the event at mom's house so we didn't have to move her at all, and inquiring about what to cook and who will do which part cause time's a wastin'.
WELL! I got a phone call taking a strip off both sides, front AND back because "what has changed? Who are YOU to be changing everything? I have been planning this and have Marsh's family (her significant other) coming! and bla bla bla.....
Well - I never -
Needless to say, I have accepted my un-invitation to the FAMILY Thanksgiving.
OH and By The Way -- Christmas will now be different too because you don't get to bite me twice!
DO NOT PUSH ANYONE WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH ALS AND FTD!
My new motto -- You CANT MAKE ME; I WONT DO IT
