Well, After a buddy and I made the trip down, saw my Dad and loaded up some of his furniture to take to Dad's soon-to-be temporary residence and got back up here, got the stuff faxed to her lawyer, gassed up my van, called my Dad to see how he was doing and found out that he'd been served.
He was obviously beside himself and I knew that I had to go back down there to help him feel better and not get all worried about it. Really makes me MAD when someone does something that upsets him like that.
Might know that they'd serve him late in the afternoon on Friday!
SHE was up there earlier that day (probably to locate him because they couldn't find him.
If I'd have had a few more days, I'd have had him out of the county and at least 3 counties away!
I DID manage to turn off their phones, w/o a penalty, by "Suspending the phones". Alltel was VERY helpful in taking care of this. We will have to pay the base rate but not the other charges (thought this might be helpful to others, at times). If I had gotten back home quick enough, I'd have gotten the Dish Network turned off too! I came home and had to go back so soon, I didn't get the Uhaul trailer unloaded to take back ( I only rented it for one day-24hrs) and my van has lots of stuff in it from the house and the Nursing Home (He has been checked out of there and I have told Dad that he won't be there. I don't see how in the world that any Judge (or her lawyer) could even think of allowing them to continue with this (much less WIN it), with ALL that has been done (I mean, you could say that I already HAVE Guardianship, except for the LEGAL title) to put everything in MY control (if Dad can't take care of things). If he DID lose and HAD to go back to the Nursing Home, It'd Kill Him and I just might not be here on the forums cause I'd be in jail for taking them out!
I'm telling you that I would be pretty distraught, if they won. I don't see how they could though and our lawyer says that Judges hate to do "Guardianship Cases" and when the Judge sees that my Dad had presence of mind to know what he wanted, knew that he couldn't do it alone and got me to help him get those things accomplished, that'll say alot.
Now, to add to the load that my Wife and I share with ALL that we are dealing with, we got 2 stuffed envelopes from my Health insurance company that contained info from several places that have treated Karla (our Daughter, who had Medicare) and it shows the amounts f money owed to the Insurance company because they were filed as the "Primary", instead of Medicare.
We had NO idea that Medicare was to be filed as the Primary because when Karla had Medicaid, my Insurance company was filed as the "Primary" and Medicaid was filed AFTERWARDS!
We're talking more than $15,000 for sure.
By rights, Medicare should reimburse the Insurance Company. Fat Chance! Sure hope they don't mind payments and not very big ones at that!
We're ALL liable to be in that nursing Home, before it's over.
