And I remember when that happened, I contacted the social worker for my mother's hospice situation and she said, They can't do that.
That's going against your mother's wi your mother's wishes.
And boy was she a great help at that moment, the the social worker, because she got on the phone with several people and said, You cannot do this because this is not what she wants.
and we finally had to move her to a hospice location because of how difficult it was getting.
And not only were they having difficulties talking to the owners and administrators of the assisted living facility, we were also having it difficult to tell my mother that unfortunately we had to move her
And so that was one of those points where I had to reach in and just totally put myself aside but talk with my mother very openly and I said, Do you remember when we were growing up
that you always said that when your time came, you did not want to be on any respirators, you did not want to be, you know, kept going, you just wanted to go.
Well, unfortunately, this facility is not going to respect that wish.
So we need to put you in another location that will honor that wish of yours.
So that was actually
actually the thing that finally convinced her, Okay, move me you know, but
That was a very difficult circumstance and sometimes you just might wind up in that.
Sometimes the administrators are only interested in their money and protecting their own, you know.
Uh but you know, I mean we really had to had to do some very fancy, you know.
um for lack of a better word, fancy footwork to basically get her to a place that would honor her wishes.
And it turned out to be the best thing we did because the hospice care, as I said, was way more sympathetic and way more understanding than the folks at that assisted living facility.
And now that I think back to that moment, it was my autistic memory, the memory that remembers everything, literally, to finally tell my mother, Do you remember when this is what you said to us?
And then I was able to calmly convince her we needed to put her somewhere where her honor her wishes could be honored.
So that's a personal story coming from me.
And boy
