Hey Toph. I didn't know you came 'round here.
When I originated this thread, I was afraid of entering her home only to discover her corpse. That was what I had to steel myself against. The rest, now that we know what's up, is just details.
Yes, we plan on obtaining a medical power of attorney. Separate financial power of attorney, as well. They're even more important for my father, as he already has periods of incompetency. I've got both parents to manage, but with the excellent support and collaboration of my sister. It was amazing, to have them both come onto the radar screen within days of each other. I had only just got my head around looking after my dad, when this other situation arose. They have no contact with each other, but they were married for 44 years. It's as if she somehow knew. The synchronicity is astounding.
Thanks for your comforting words. Much appreciated.
