212 Degrees Fahrenheit.......

is the temperature that pure water boils at sea level.

For my 100th blip I posted water boiling at 100c. Today is blip #212 and my husband said I HAD to post another boiling water picture for those of us that use the fahrenheit scale.

Things are really boiling over in our family. We have found out that there is nothing we as family members can do to get Tony's mother admitted to the hospital if she refuses to go.

There were 3 police officers, 2 paramedics and a home health care nurse all there with Tony, trying to convince her to go. Since there is no documentation in her health files of dementia and she refused to answer questions that would give them the authority to take her, there was nothing any of them could do. She refuses to have help come in to her home and also refuses to be moved where there would be help available to her.

So now we wait until she falls again and there is a break or blood involved. 

The laws that are on the books have totally tied our hands.

I am grateful that there are still people we can depend on to check on her and are now aware that she is not as capable as she seems.
