Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / November 2005The Airport II
Everything went fine picking up Mom at the airport. My brother escorted her to the gate and found a lady traveling to our town here in Indiana to ride in seat next to her. It's good that my brother is so personable. It helps when things like this come up. My daughter asked Mom how her flight was and Mom replied "Uneventful, just the way you want it". I am so glad I had her flagged as special needs. It made easy for me to get to the gate in Indy. So I will lurk for awhile and hopefully no new scenarios for awhile......June June, am so glad it all went well. Hope everything will continue that way.

There was a Christmas card addressed to my mother. Mom "That's my writing on the envelope!" Me..."Oh I bet that's your check from the sale of your house"....I knew my brother had mailed it but I didn't know it would be in a Christmas card that my mother had addressed. Mom was confused about the whole thing. Sorta like hiding your own Easter eggs..... I took my Mom out to dinner and we stopped at the bank along the way and deposited it in the account that my brother told me he was going to put it in. I told my daughter about it and she said " He trusted the mail? Why didn't she just put it in her purse?" I looked at her incredulously "Given a choice between trusting the Post Office or trusting dementia I would take the Post Office." Daughter (who has an engineering degree from Purdue) "Oh, right" And so it goes......June > When we got back home, I went to the Post Office to pick up Mom's and my > brother's mail.

Some might also say its a close call between entrusting it to the PO and putting it the purse of a dementia sufferer....

The bank here in Indiana doesn't exist in Florida. It could be a close call about in trusting the Post Office or dementia. At least the small town where they live here in Indiana has a small Post Office where Post Mistress knows everybody......June But June, electronic transfers happen all the time between institutions. Changes in technology have really changed whats possible. You just have to tell them where to send the money (name of the bank, branch info, address). Mailing a paper cheque for a huge amount is nuts! M. There is a charge for an electronic transfer, but for a large amount of money it is well worth it.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > M. Yep, brother is nuts! Check out previous threads. She has a bank account in Florida too. I've been trying for months to get my brother to close it. Her Social Security check goes into it. ( Also been nagging about getting address change at Social Security) At least my name is on some of the Florida accounts and I was able to get the address changed to here in Indiana. I found out the bank had no address for her after I called them when brother mentioned that Mom hadn't gotten a bank statement for a few months. If I were in charge things would be different. He says he will close it when he gets back. Tired of nagging. Remember -- brother not the sharpest crayon. This is where I start kicking myself for letting him have POA. At least the house is gone and he can't leave her down there alone anymore ........June P.S. It was only 3K. The price of the house went down after hurricane Wilma because of more roof damage. good choice hahaha Linda Jean > When we got back home, I went to the Post Office to pick up Mom's and my > brother's mail.
