Thank you so much for your suggestions. I'll look into it. I tried disability once but they denied me. Hopefully we will have help. My aunt paid for someone for 6 days; 5 hours a piece so I could work or go sit at Starbucks. Hopefully we can get more help. Will have home Physical therapy for grandpa. I love taking my dog for walks. I hope you get compensated for disability. Wish I could get partial disability. Will need a new therapist. This guy is sweet and nice but says he's under qualified for my ptsd and he only knows a few things. You guys are all so sweet. Thank you. Really need it at this time!!!
 
Grandpa is berating me, lying to others about me and my care and is angry angry angry and anxious and fearful of dying. I had been up for him and barely sleeping for 3 weeks and I am at my wits end. I understand he is trying to cope and adjust to his health but I need to cope with it too. I have been bending over backwards for him. He lied to his caregivers about my shopping for him. Thankfully I have witnesses of truth, have been recording conversations and have had a friend over to prevent his behavior, I also notified doctors in case it's physical but they don't feel it is. And I have to draw the line at lying to caregivers there. Because if he lies to them they are still mandated to report and do an investigation. So if he can't be descent I need to leave which is so hard after a bankruptcy with a dog and cat , get a job that will pay rent. I have 2 on call jobs now and go to school full time and my ptsd is full force and shouldn't start a job with dissociation constant. Thank God I did okay last time I worked but smoking too much at home and have low concentration with high distractibility. My aunt wants me to stay so she has less responsibility and no one in my family helps cuz he was an abuser verbal and physical many years ago. He's lonely after becoming a widow 6 years ago. If he is verbally mean to me tonight I will have to go. I paid the price with his daughter and don't want to tolerate it any more from anyone. We will see
 
They both even suggested I buy and run one of their businesses the biggest one in Cali at some time. It's a massively huge responsibility. Would need lots of training with them. Too stressed right now
 
Okay not good now my mother wants to come here and visit my grandfather. She called drunk as a skunk. Oh please God, do not let her come here. I am struggling enough. Good news is my family is saying I need days off because 365 days is too much for me now looking after Grandpa. Other good news is Grandpa appears to be improving, mentally and oxygen wise. Yeah!!!
 
Done some research; think grandpa was having mini bleeds in brain and hypocalcemia causing confusion, irritability... Seems so much better now and in reality, very appreciative of my care. Too bad he couldn't remember the 3 wks of 18-20 hr care. Such is life haha!!! Starting to mellow a little and eating foods other than Reese's peanut butter cup ice cream and potato chips haha. Trying to chill on smoking like a chimney and get back into schoolwork again. Have caregiver help. Yeah!!! Dog walking and kitty time. Awwww. Barbecue with friends yeah!!! Working, not as well as usual but they seem wonderful about it!! Yeah. Will be looking after neighbors animals soon. Which is so awesome!!!!! Trying to get better. Wish ptsd was a visible problem along with brain injury.
 
Words can't express all that you had to endure, how I feel about it, utterly shocking. You are amazing and I am glad your grandpa is improving (((((((((((((kailani)))))))))))
 
Grandpa had heart attack symptoms; paramedics here and no ST elevation on EKG so they didn't think so. However his behavior is identical to after the last silent MI and having more leg edema. Sooooo worried about everything but keep praying. Need to spend more time on school...
 
((((((((((((((((Kailani))))))))))))))) my thoughts are with you, I hope he will be okay
