My sister broke her ankle 2 days ago. Since tht time she has had to fend for herself. She is leagally blind and has a balance problem secondary to brain stem surgery. Her husband still hasn't taken her back to the doctor for surgery to put pins in and casting. All he has done is complain about the hardship this has put him in. He has left her on the couch without a way to get food or water...and has left her a JAR to use as a toilet. He hasn't gotten her crutches or a wheelchair...nothing. Her daughter had to pain meds from the pharmcy because he was too busy. I think this is abuse by him...I live over a thousand miles away and call her to check up on her and to see if she is in pain...how bad is this...

Your brother in law sounds like a real jerk! I feel really bad for your sister. Hopefully he will get a clue and start taking care of her.

I agree with you.This sounds like abuse to me too. Your brother in law sounds like a real jerk. A jar to pee in. Hope someone does that to him when he is in need. Too bad you can't maybe make a trip out to see her and help her recover. I am sorry.
