Need a place to vent off some stress and this be it.
Long story short, my wife's grandfather lived in Anza, 40 miles East of Temecula. He's 84 years old, just a bit less than 89er and had a care taker taking advantage of his finances and home. She got back into drugs and thats when it went downhill. She'd leave him for days at a time, no food or medications or anything. The finances are such a mess that we've spent the last week getting them back in order.
On Sunday, we moved him in with us because he doesn't trust his own daughter or husband, nice. They think he's loaded and want his money and he really only has his property he owns outright. Sad to see and pisses me off to hear what they were and weren't doing for him out there. He wanted us to take control of everything for him, finances, medical, the whole ball of wax, which we gladly did. I've taken the last 3 days off from work to get him situated here in the house and spent most of it on the phone for him to close accounts, open new ones and check his credit situation.
He's a great man but he can't see or hear very well which makes him so vulnerable to people that want to take advantage of him. He really likes being here and finding his likes and dislikes is a daily chore. I asked him what he liked to eat and he said he can't remember, he was only fed corndogs for the last 6 months. :| That's horse****!
Just needed to vent and fill the family in on what is going on in the Elk house. DW is still on, I'll really need it by then. If I'm not as visible here, you'll know why. Aloha
