If/when I make any progress on getting here into the ride share program I'll let you guys know...

And thanks for letting me rant, I needed that... I've been in a real bad mood since yesterday night, some of my post might of reflected that, so sorry if I offended anybody... I feel 95% better....

Also thanks for the information you guys provided (more so kiki).

Good luck with that, I really hope everything evens out in the end and people get what they deserve. Namely the fair treatment that your great aunt obviously deserves considering her health.

good luck.
I have some experience with a lot of this, so if ya need a hand, IM me.

take a day off when you have a chance. mon-fri.
pick her up on a non-dialysis weekday and take her AND ONLY HER with you to FIA (or whatever it's called there.. the medicaid/family independance admin..) and ask to speak with a counselor there (case worker.)
get her case worker to explain to BOTH of you what the rules are for getting help, fo rwhat she's allowed to own, her assets, etc.. and figure out what she's got, or what she can do and can't do.
Forget teh daughters. If you have questions, talk to the case worker. They'll even come out to the house if need be.
They are there to help you and her. Not to cause you more grief.
I've dealt with people like these daughters, and while I have a plethora of names for these types of people, I'll keep those to myself. I'll simply say that their only interests are their own, and for you and your aunt, the best solution is to seek outside help, and throw them the hell out.

Its high time to show the no good freeloaders some tough love my friend.

If these people have everything due to this woman and do nothing, its time they get cehcked.

You, you are the hand of justice. Invoke some fear and common sense into them...

I know that theres a program called ride share, they will come and get her and take her to her appointments for free, but her dumb a** daughter told her NOT to sign up for that...

Let me try to explain this...

My aunt and uncle bought a new d.wide trailer and 2 acres of land out in the country like 30 years ago, up until my uncle died (about 10 years ago) it stayed well maintained and clean...

Then once he died her kids/grand kids started to totally trash the place, they had like 10 dogs and 10-15 cats in the house... Instead of cleaning up the poop they argue over who's dog laid down the turd, one wasnt willing to clean the others dogs poop up, so it just stayed there... It was so bad that the piss was rotting the floors out... On a few different occasions my uncle (my grandma's son) and I went over and spent days cleaning and replacing floors...

Finally it just got so bad that they moved out and rented a house (instead of cleaning the old one)...

So now she is scared to use their new address because she thinks the gov will try to take her other house... I dont know her reasoning behind this, I think thats what her daughter told her, obviously the daughter isnt real bright person...

tell the kids that, and say look, I'll take her (every other friday) or whatever.. set a schedule. tell them it's their problem the rest of the time.
also contact FIA and see if they have a mileage reimbursement program.
I know MI does, if your aunt is on medicaid.. they pay you like 12 cents/mile if she gets a form signed, each trip for medical transit.
it doesn't cover gas, but it helps.

also tell the daughters/grandkids that it's now their job to take her to dialysis, and if you ever get called, show up, and they're sitting around, ou're walking right back out the door and going back to work.
I've spent years on dialysis myself, and I can tell you it's no picnic to sit through, nor is it any fun relying on others to get anywhere you need to go.

I know that dialysis isnt any fun, and I do feel for my aunt.

They could work out there schedules and take her most of the time, its that they are to lazy. I don't mind taking her SOME of the time, but its not fair to make me take her MOST of the time. And its not really the fact that I dont want to take her, its that I can't afford too... I have bills coming up and dont have the money to pay them, its to the point where I HAVE to work or be screwed.

Same deal with me and my dad... we always have to take my Grandmother to the Doctors or to go shopping all the time even though my Aunt lives right next door to her in the same house (inlaw setup) Easily my cousin Victoria could take her or my Aunt but they never do. They dont even take the trash out for her, and alot of times wont even inviter her over for Dinner if has nothing... It sucks and I still love my aunt and cousins but its not fair to my father and Me. Oh yea and my older brother refuses to go over there because he hates my Aunt and they dont speak so its just me and my dad to do it... My mom, well she kinda doesnt like to hang around my grandma too much cause she kinda complains alot lol but she is old she kinda deserves to.
