Thank you, all. I'm not on the computer much these days, but I haven't forgotten you all, and I really appreciate your caring words and compassion. The letters are a great idea, and I'll suggest it to her. It seems nothing I do is right for her, and she gets mad at every little thing I do, including repeating what she says to make sure I understood her. My sister reports the same thing to me. I know it's because she's old and her mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. She says she's not scared of dying, but I don't know whether to believe it. I could certainly understand if she is, because I sure am. I visit her often, usually for over an hour, but yesterday, I could only stay a few minutes, and she told me I never stay long. I hate that she's in the rehab, but I don't know what to talk about for hours on end, and I have to get home and take care of things here sometimes. She snipes at almost everything I say or do, and I'm really trying to do right by her. She gets mad because I can't do certain things because of my OCD. Her roommate (who, it turns out, is my cousin's wife's aunt or something like that) keeps asking personal questions about my OCD when I'm not in the mood to talk about it. Yesterday, she said, "Don't take this the wrong way, but have you thought about seeing a psychiatrist?" I told her I've been seeing psychiatrists for over 30 years!!! (Actually, over 35.) She asked me if they could give me meds, and I informed her there is no cure for OCD, and I'm on several meds. My mom's roommate gets on my nerves, and my mom has told me she does get on her nerves, too. I feel sorry my mom has to be roomed with her.

Thanks again for all your good wishes and prayers. I hope my mom can get out of there soon and back home (although there's an issue with that now, too, but I won't go into it for now).
