A Lurker's Vent (Long)
Hey Everyone,
I'm a serious lurker here and i just seriously need to vent about all the craziness I have happening right now.
Situation 1- DH, DD, dog and I were basically booted from the house we had been living in for three years (with my grandmother). My grandmother was in a nursing home and my aunt (who steals from my grandmother and drinks all of our beer) got pissed off and told the nursing home she had 24/7 care at home, which was very untrue. When we moved in we made it clear that we would be paying all the bills, cooking and all housework/upkeep but NO medical.
The nursing home sent my grandmother home, she has active MRSA. I'm BF'ing DD. So in addition to the baby I'm supposed to take care of her as well... and possibly transfer an infection to my daughter. We left the house and are living with my parents to save up for a down payment. Ugh.
Situation 2- My DH has pretty severe anxiety issues. Two weeks ago he had a kidney stone so we went to the ER, they did a CT scan and found free air in his abdomen, kept him in the hospital because they thought he had perforated his intestine and was going to have to have emergency surgery. Long story short, no surgery (thank god) just a round of super strong, mess with your stomach antibiotics and orders to have a colonoscopy and ednoscopy to rule out any major causes.
So here I am taking care of the DD (who is amazing but thrown off because of the stress) the DH, who is convinced he is dying and has been having an average of five panic attacks a day, and stuck at my mothers house with my parents, two younger sisters, a French boyfriend of my sister, two dogs and four cats.
I'm going to lose my mind! I went from being at home with DD all day to working three days a week and going to school the day DH was discharged from the hospital. This is crazy, nothing ever goes how I plan it to.

It's a rotating schedule of my Mom, Aunt and Uncle (all her kids) and up until everything with DH, we were going up and cooking a few times a week for her. She also has visiting nurses and home health aides.
The main reasons we left were the MRSA (DH's older brother died from a MRSA infection) and the way my aunt has been trying to control the situation, she told me several times that my grandmother should be my first priority. I felt so bad leaving her alone there but the I was crazy, walking around the house with lysol... I couldn't even go to the bathroom at home, it was bad.
Thanks, I hate seeing him such a mess. He had been coping relatively well with everything before the hospital stint.
We left the house the day after she came home, there was no way I was going to put DD in that kind of situation. I think you're right about my aunt, she could use a few knocks in the head.
