She may not like it, but she will comply. She currently lives with my other sister who works out of the house, but sometimes needs to go in to work to take care of details there. Thursday are her regular day to do that. Until Julie gets stronger, my other sister, Laura, is worried about leaving her alone. Julie is capable of all of taking care of her personal needs - bathing, eating, etc. but needs to be reminded.
