God Bless this Texas Father. Never mess with A PATRIOT from Tomball, Texas. They will dump your body in the Big Thicket and you'll never be heard from again.
Damn straight! Last year when she was 97 she had a full hip replacement and somehow (had to be a God thing) her caretaker was allowed to stay with her, just not leave the room. I wasn't allowed anywhere near her room. Notice I say I wasn't allowed near the room, not that I didn't actually go to her room. Managed to sneak in 3 times past Methodist Hospital in the Med Center and all their security
Good for you Amber! The very idea that a hospital can keep us away from our family! Many people need to be indicted.
Thankfully we just passed an Amendment to the Texas Constitution which prevents this from happening. At least 1 family member or caregiver is allowed and NO ONE can mandate otherwise.
I was very glad to hear when they passed that! One of the times I brought them some home made food and as an afterthought I put on a ball cap and an apron and marched right through like I owned the place, past the nurses station and into her room. After I left one of the nurses asked what "the chef" had brought in. Wut?? Oh well, it worked. I learned which security gestapo areas didn't pay attention and how to get to the first elevator I could find and go anywhere, then switch elevators. It was silly, but thrilling to beat their ignorant system.
God Bless your Mother-in-law!

If you dress like an official and carry a clipboard you can go virtually anywhere.
Proud of you Amber! 👏
