I've had one of THOSE days.
DHs family have all taken to making decisions about DHs care without even once discussing with the one person walking this planet who knows more about his condition than anyone else because said person lives with him.
I got an email from DHs daughter last week stating she wanted to come up for a visit on 9/11 to talk about her father. That she thought her brother and aunts and uncles were all talking to me about having someone stay with DH when I was gone "ALL day" and that there was some disagreement.
No one has talked to me. I have been given the third degree, have had our lifestyle choices insulted, and been informed that all the family thinks DH should not be left alone. I kept trying to explain that DHs confusion would have been amplified outside his home while visiting them and that he is still doing okay at home. They don't agree. Okay. How would you know? You don't live with him. I do.
I knew I'd made appointments for both of us for physicals and they were coming up but couldn't remember when because I forgot to put them in my calendar.
I called the doctor's office to get the date and times. I was told that DH had TWO appointments??!! What?
One on the same day as me, which I scheduled that way.
One for 9/11. I didn't made that one. Hmm. Same day as the planned visit. Hmm. Is this also part of their "discussions" with me? Making appointments for him with his PCP behind my back? I requested that the office pull up the HIPPA on record. Oh? Really? I'm the only one listed that the doctor can discuss his condition with? I had NOOOO idea!
Suffice it to say that I cancelled the appointment.
Sorry for the rant. Even if no one reads it, it felt good to write it!!

I am very sorry that you have to go through this.

If the Dr. has talked to the Family against HIPPA, You can sue them right?

You may ask yourself, "what is she going to do about them?"
NOTHING!!! I don't have time to deal with it! 🤣
DH and I discussed this long ago. We both knew that some day someone would need to stay with him. He IS getting more confused but that is part of the decline. I already had someone in mind to talk with to see if she would be willing to stay with DH a short time on specific days but we'd have to meet because she and DH would have to get along. I'd already reached out to get her contact info and make arrangements to meet before all this crap started. I don't intend to have her start coming over until DH really needs (or wants) it. If he would like to have the company and someone to help him with the things he wants to do that's fine. But it's going to be OUR decision on when and who comes into our home and no one else's.
