Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

All because my sister put a post on facebppk. Which she’s blaming her husband for. Long story, I don’t feel like telling it. I don’t feel well.
 
Going to try to sleep. I don’t really want to go back in because the clutter is going to be awful again. But whatever.

I guess THATS why God wasn’t helping me get a better job. It would have paid enough for me to move out. She’d have had to live with one of us and also she would have died.
 
This is a long shot but call your local fire department and tell them you live in a hoarder house and see if they have any ideas. It's risky because there is a chance the fire marshal will declare the house uninhabitable until it's clean. But while your mom is in the hospital this might be your chance.

Will she be pissed? Yep.
But ask yourself if the risk is worth it. And. If you hadn't been able to get her out could rescue have been able to get in to her in an emergency?
 
Thanks, @somerandomguy. I hope you’re doing well :)

My friend Scottie and I are almost finished with the new room. We haven’t told my mom about it so it might be a nice surprise :)

And @Freida, correct me if I’m misunderstanding you (I’m super tired) but I’m not going to call a fire marshal right now. It would complicate things and probably not for the better. Having just my grandmother threaten homelessness is enough.

But no, a stretcher wouldn’t have fit well. I had to get her out quick but it worked. The path was large enough.

My mom was moved from critical care to intensive care last night at 11pm, so they must have gotten at least most of the other blockages

naw..you were sort of right. I was hoping the fire department would have some suggestions for cleaning up (maybe a volunteer group or some such thing) but the risk of asking is that the fire marshal might get involved. I was just kind of thinking out loud... :(
 
No problemo, I get it. I’ll find a way to get some help. In a way I already have, because my friend Scottie was so excited about cleaning that when my mom’s new room was emptied of all trash, he went downstairs and started cleaning another room. So that was fun :)

My mom is doing a lot better now, by the way! And she has thanked me several times for saving her life. She’ll thank me again when she sees her new room that Scottie and I made. :D :D

And with help from neighbors and my sister. They’re contributing things. My neighbors got her curtains and a curtain rod, and my sister is getting her a handicap bed rail, and a rug for the floor. I paid for several of her bills (one of them on accident) and my neighbors are gonna take some soup for us when she comes back. I’ll ask the synagogue for a little help later too. My workplace may or may not cover my bills for a small while. Not gonna ask them, just gonna try to go back to work on Saturday.

The doctors want me to help my mom remember her medications. I wish I could get HER a service animal but that’s not in the cards right now. (Plus it’d have to be a Great Dane or another breed that would do okay without many walks...)
 
I had to text her textdoor neighbor and ask her or him not to text my mother (I’m not upset unless they text again), but otherwise she’s starting to act like herself again. The nurses love her, which doesn’t surprise me. She’s pretty hilarious
