New Travels, Elderly Parents, and Native Plants

I am in Florida right now, taking care of my parents.

Jesus H. Christ..are they trying my nerves. Bicker, Bicker, Fight Fight. All of it over stupid ass stuff. My mother is the main problem...she has turned into a gold plated, 24K mean pain in the ass. She can't see. Will she get the eyeglasses that would restore her eyesight? No..she won't go see another doctor.

Apparently this is a woman who enjoys her martyrdom.

She broke her hip in late January, had surgery, and got out of the nursing home a month ago. She's in pain 24-7. Will she let us get her painkillers? No, they're too strong. They have the wrong names. Will she cut them in half? No, it doesn't matter how short we make the name of the drug, it will still be too strong. Will she go to her doctor for pain meds? No, she doesn't want to bother the doctor.

Today she started having back muscle spasms, and is in agony. Will she let us get her anything for that? No. She doesn't like taking pills.

I love my mother...but right now, I'm not liking her much AT ALL. Frankly, I can hardly wait to leave here.
