I wish I could, but.... my brother is delusional. 

My father is at home.  He went by ambulance or some facsimile thereof.  With lots of oxygen.  My brother is staying with him this weekend and he has arranged for people to be there 24 hrs/day starting Monday.

He thinks our father is going to get better and live on his own again.  He is delusional.  The man is 92 years old.  Low oxygen levels (thus the oxygen), has had congestive heart failure, failing memory.  He forgets how to use a phone.  Just now, when I called.  I think David reminded him who I was.

Sigh.  I understand the reasoning, somewhat.  Dad is blind.  He knows the condo he's lived in for over 20 years.  He has people in the building.
But he cannot take care of himself.  If my brother hadn't been going there twice a day, he would never take his meds.  Nor would he remember to eat.

I love my brother, but..... I don't know what's going to happen first.... David kills the old man or he has a nervous breakdown. 

Sigh.

If I ever get to that point, please, just put me down?  Please?
