Crazy Family & Inlaw stories



Recommended Posts

SWEET PETE!!!! Ya'll crack me up. I can't wait until I am a crazy old lady. If I don't lose my mind I will at least pretend to drive everyone around me nuts. I plan to start this wicked plan of mine if I make it to 80 so it will look more real. I will hopefully be known as crazy aunt Kim one day. I'm trying to think of things I can do to flip the young kids around me out? I will definately tell everyone that my name is Britany Spears and wear mini skirts all day. I do love the Bondo idea! Maybe they will have something stronger by then. I can't wait!!

I wonder if Momster and Francie are/were related. Francie died a few years ago. I don't think she knew about Bondo. But there's a part of me which is partial to Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty (mix it with Water and it makes...I dunno...rocks) , so there may be a genetic link. No, Francie's hobby was radio and early television. This scares me because I am working on getting a ham operator license. But she never had one, so I think it's okay. She had lots of tubes. You know, old radio tubes. She was never thrilled with miniaturized and transistorized stuff. She like BIG, overheating radio and television tubes. Well, those and the powdered cheese, I imagine.

Why is Momster out loose? Should she not be incarcerated or somebody's thesis project?

Momster has been thrown out of psychiatrist's office. She can be very intimidating and speaks only in screams & insults. She calls doctors murderers, idiots, butchers till the have her escorted out. She sends 100 page horribly viscious letters to the president (she's convinced she personally uncovered government corruption.) She's not locked up cause nobody wants her. She's a legend in her small town after inheriting her uncle's valuable property smack in the middle of the County Park. The County, over the years, purchased all the surrounding parcels so the crazy house is surrounded in front by baseball diamonds, to the left County tennis courts, the right is the playground, and the bowling alley in back. The County has been making very generous offers for over 20 years, but my family won't sell. Now it's hers, so she's under constant scrutiny and now has 1/4 million dollar lien on the property. If I livein in Jersey, I might get involved because she is clearly incompetant, and I'm convinced the IRS and local goverment is letting time pass till they can snatch her entire estate. They should have forced sale or taken legal action, but they know they're dealing with an insane person so they allow penalties to grow, grow, grow, till one day they own it all. The cops know here by first name, but they don't want her. She's not hurting anybody but herself, though I can't for the life of me understand why Social Services hasn't intervened.

And a cat eating the nose off a deceased person has got to be the grossest thing I've ever heard in my life! I almost hurled but then decided I better share one more story.

My Aunt Doris left her false teeth on the nightstand. But they were gone when she woke up. The dog ate them. GROSS. But they are really expensive, so she had to buy another pair. This time she wrapped them in a tissue and put them in her purse for the night. But the next morning she couldn't find her purse... it was tossed all over the living room, and the teeth were gone. That dog ate her teeth a 2nd time.

Delarla: I didn't mean to gross you out so bad about the cat thing. I just thought it would add to the weird family thread really well. You gotta admit this isn't something that happen's every day.... only in my family!!!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
