My son signed the papers on a Tuesday. By Friday I was in a shared room in a nursing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. That was the last time I saw him for five months. By the fifth month I weighed 97 pounds, and I heard two aides in the hallway say I probably had weeks. 💔 🏠 He sold my house with a power of attorney I don't remember signing 🌙 At 3 a.m., a night aide from Mexico asked me one question nobody else had ⚖️ My children tried to have me declared incompetent so I couldn't leave 🇲🇽 Fourteen months later I walk to the market every morning in Guanajuato And at the end, I finally asked Chayo why she did it. Her answer is in a green notebook with 63 names in it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚖️ WHAT I WISH I HAD KNOWN ✔️ You can revoke a power of attorney as long as you have mental capacity ✔️ Every state has a long-term care ombudsman — the number is on a poster by the time clock ✔️ Ask for an INDEPENDENT capacity evaluation, not the facility's doctor ✔️ Being depressed and being incompetent are very different things in the eyes of the law ✔️ Social Security pays you in Mexico ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💵 MY LIFE NOW IN DOLORES HIDALGO 🏡 Room and meals with Chayo's family — $500/month 🦵 Physical therapy at home — $14 a visit 📊 Everything I spend — around $700 of my $1,640 ⚖️ My weight — from 97 to 128 pounds ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 Do you have a parent in a care facility?
