To be completely honest...
I am just too nice. There is not one thing my brother Bob has ever actually done for me.

Found out that my other brother, Tom PAID Bob to stay with me while I was immobilized with my foot thing so Mom could go visit my sister for two weeks. Doc said to stay in bed with my foot elevated above my heart and only get up to go to the restroom or he would have to amputate just below the knee.

Bob didn't do one thing while staying to "help."

Never fixed a meal. Had to get it myself. Even when asked to go pick up something up...I would call it in, he would go to the restaurant, eat, then do I don't know what, and finally bring me something home 3 to 4 hours later and cold. And me needing to eat within a specific time because of diabetes. He claimed he got lost. The restaurant is 3 miles away AND he lived in OKC for 20 years.

Had my SIL doing all the grocery shopping so he didn't have to do that, thank goodness.

When the dishes needed done, he put them all away in the cabinets, dirty. Didn't even get them wet!

He was going to take me to a doc appointment. Before we got out of the driveway I saw both the oil and water dummy lights were on. He had be driving it I don't know how long on those extra long trips to get food. Made him pull back in the garage and then had to top them off myself because "He didn't know how." That was the last time I let him use my rover. Drove myself to the doc. Luckily I could put my right foot on the dash and drive the rover with my left so my foot would be above my heart. I didn't want to loose it.

Oh, and was able to set the upper volume limit on my stereo the TV went thru or he would have turned to so loud it would have fried the speakers. And even then I used the app on my phone to turn t down when I was across the house in my room with the door shut trying to sleep.

So just not real happy about taking a days vacation, so far, to go help him because he had an accident.
