LB, Aww to your younger nephew apologizing. Intellectually challenged or not he appreciates you and you trying to help.

Since you're not going to your father's for Thanksgiving with his girlfriend's family it might be nice for you to go to friends T-giving to relax and have laughter with friends. Would do you good.

Sad that your sister never resolved her issues with your/her brother before he passed away.

Interesting your older nephew has a suitcase out and he hasn't done that before. Let go then wait to see what happens. For him to be successful at rehab he has to decide he wants to go. Might take a few attempts staying there too.
I'm rooting for him and his suitcase.

Good afternoon.  Paulie my nephew says he is going to rehab tomorrow I won't hold my breath.   He has said then numerous times.   so many times, I lost count. He says I owe him an apology I feel I don't. It's too personal to  say here.  But he owes so many people apologies. Anyway I went to start my car today it iddnt I think I need a new battery. Got it towed to the mechanic place I use.  I know last time they said I would need a new battery soon.

Hi LB, Well here's to hoping he goes to rehab tomorrow. It has to be his choice. Not an easy choice. He has to want it to be effective then hopefully he remains there for the entire program. Maybe his suitcase being out is a good sign. Hope so. What can I say other than you've done your best to help him.

Darn it to your car battery. We know what jicaji would say ..... yep .... It's always something.

[LBLNJ0668]

Good morning always something   MY battery will be getting fixed today so much money.   
Going to the dr to get cleared to drive and work from home. I am pretty much off my pain medicine

[paulie]

Good Morning,

LB, Good you get new battery today. Nothing is cheap that's for sure. Good for your other news about you too.


We're heading to cabin mid-week to get some cleaning done and put Christmas swags on front porch railing and wreath on door.
Wed night into Thursday there's to be snow showers and very cold then high winds Thursday. I have two words. Wood stove!!!

My update for the day It's been busy. First me!!! I saw the nurse practioner today she is pleased with my progress. No cane and a big smile on my face. I got cleared to drive and drove  when I picked up my car.  My thigh is now tight.  LOL She signed my forms now I am waiting for it to be scanned and emailed to me.  I will call them back tomorrow to make sure it gets down or I cannot work.  I start working remotely 12/2 and will go back to office 1/6.  I don't want to drive on the highway so fast especially with the tenderness I got today just driving a few miles.  I see he surgeon in February for final clearance 
My nephew went to rehab today but having a lot of coaxing from his partner. I am sure he bitched all the way there.  He keeps saying he is allowed visitors but then had a fit saying he's not allowed visitors.  I would be surprised if he was allowed He then said his partner is coming to visit him on Wednesday.  I think He is dilutional.  He had his phone but told his b rother they will take it away once he gets a room.  He saw the room and had a fit.   No TV!!!  OMG does he think he's on vacation?? He definitely feels he is entitled and definitely is poiled.  My guess he will leave tomorrow. not sure how this is going to work but I do no want any part of it.

Good afternoon, It never ends.  I only have 1 question.  Why does my nephew have so much time on his hand to call people.   There is a public phone for everyone to use and he spent all night last night calling his brother, friends, and partner trying to convince them to pick him up.   

[paulie]

LB, Good news about you!! Thumbs up!!

Good your nephew went to rehab yesterday. Rules are strict. I hope no one went to get him.  Did he stay or is he still there?

Guess what? Yesterday I had to buy a new battery! We're going to cabin tomorrow morning. Don't know how internet reception will be with weather conditions expected there. Time will tell.

[LBLNJ0668]

Good day busy busy day on phone what a headache   

[paulie]

LB, Hope you slept good.

We arrived at cabin yesterday early afternoon. I got Christmas swags and wreath hung. Sunny warm beautiful weather.
Had a heck of a storm last night with lights flickering. Cold front moved thru. Temps dropped!
This morning when I was loading wagon up with wood for wood stove it was snowing! What a change in weather!

[LBLNJ0668]

No sleep for the weary Paulie.  Drama.  MY nephew made it through rehab for a whopping 2 days. It was a mess no one would pick him up so he threatened suicide to 3 different people so  someone clled th ecops he ended up in hospital for suicidal tendency. He is going home today.  The younger brother is supposedly moving out.   It's a friggen mess!!!!  Long story but I officially wiped my hands of my nephew I cant do this anymore. I did all I can do.  I will help the younger one as best as I can. The older one will not be happy if the younger one decides to leave (which I pray to god he does)

morning

[paulie]

LB, I wasn't on laptop at cabin yesterday or today till reading your post now. We're home now. Got heavy snow and rain at cabin.

Sad update about your oldest nephew with alcohol dependency. LB, he's been an alcoholic for so many many years it will take a miracle for him to get clean. Miracles do happen though. He needs one. Alcoholism is a disease. His alcohol dependency doesn't make him a bad person. The fact he actually went to rehab says he wants help in my opinion. I'm not a betting person but I bet he promised he'd go to rehab to his father/your brother before he passed away. If so, his 2 day attempt was a promise to his father. He knows you've tried to help him and I believe he does appreciate your attempts. He's powerless with alcohol. Hopefully since he threatened suicide  some agency will keep an eye on him. There comes a time, LB, when you have to let go hoping they hit bottom and will seek help. Your father must also be very frustrated and worried about his grandson.

Good you're wanting to continue to help your younger nephew with intellectual issues. Agreed he needs to be removed from his older brothers alcoholic outbursts etc. The younger one needs removed so he can concentrate on bettering himself in life.

God bless both your nephews with both their parents being gone. That being said there's just so much you can do and your father too.

I hope your younger nephew has somewhere else to live.

How's your knee and have you been driving since you got the go ahead?

[LBLNJ0668]

right now, allowing to live in the home is currently at and paying for his phone my nephew and everyone else is enabling him. and ghat is what is getting me aggravated.   supposedly he has until 12/31 and then he has to get out cause they are selling the house.  I just wish cory will take him of of the phone line. I am seeing my first psychology appointment next Saturday.  I stepped away I am no longer talking to him due to my own sanity.   I will not contribute to the enabling, Oh yes he started drinking when he got home Thursday and yesterday.
I drove a couple of times small trips.  I walked a little longr then a .25 miles a couple of days. I tried today but it felt like I pulled a muscle in my thigh above the knee, so I stopped.  I am now icing it.

That was a quick trip

[paulie]

LB, Good that you are taking care of yourself. Tough love is not easy.

Progress for you driving a couple times and walking. Sorry about your pulled muscle. Darn it.
