I’m so sorry about the prednisone! I’ve never known you to not clean, even in severe pain! Hopefully you can get through the course and it does help with your pain at least.

RS and I have a couple of ideas in regards to her things. We think maybe getting something like a shoe rack and saying “this is how many shoes you can bring, so please decide on which pairs”. She’s got at least 50 pairs. Same for purses, some sort of storage container that can fit a finite amount. A bookshelf so she can choose books, though that will be nigh impossible. It’s all going to be very difficult which is why I’m truly hoping against hope that she clicks with the therapist and can have them on hand to speak to.

I am also not surprised by my brother’s behavior. I guess I had hoped he would be better but I guess not. My clinician says it sounds like avoidance. Um yeah. Obviously. He doesn’t want to go there to see how bad it is and he doesn’t want to deal with all the memories. Well, neither do I, but here we are. I can’t keep coddling him though, if he’s not going to help I need to stand up for myself and at least get a straight answer. He cannot cancel if he says he will be there. If you won’t be there, just say so. Just tell me. I’ll be pretty pissed but I don’t deserve to be cancelled on left and right. Grow up and tell the truth.
