    I'm so sorry that you and SIL are being subject to this. The stuff that happens in hospitals is fodder for Alfred Hitchcock nightmares. It makes one paranoid if you think about it too much.

    Sorry your family is having to deal with this, G. Unfortunately we all have to be our own advocates when it comes to medical care these days. At least your poor brother has someone to be there for him.

    That is for sure, and it is important to have that living will, or at least have discussed things with your family, so they know what to do if you become unable to make those decisions.
    With our Humana insurance, they offered something called “My directives”, and it was free, so I filled it all out and shared it with my family, and have a copy on my phone and on the ipad, so if something happens, they know what I want, or have authority to make the best decision.
    I definitely recommend doing something like this.

    We are keeping your family in our prayers, @Hedi Mitchell , and I know that this has to be such a hard thing to be going through, and not even be able to be close enough to see your brother.

    This video is about how the ground had been poisoned with PFAS etc and the flood stirred it all up Cadaver dogs died from the poisons when searching. I had heard that the land has a lot of minerals the government wants so if the people abandon their property, the gov't can scoop it up.
    They don't want to help the people rebuild. Like in Hawaii after the fires.
    @Don Alaska, I had two friends that were from Appalacia who did not have a heavy southern accent. Of course, not all info on Youtube is real.

    Not just the accent, but the speed at which she spoke. I was always told to slow down when I lived there. Really good people there, though. I really enjoyed living there, probably more than anywhere I have ever lived. I was in Asheville on the North Carolina side of the mountains.
