I can understand a messy house, but to be so cluttered that it took authorities 10 hours searching to find her?

God this is my nightmare with regard to my grandmother. She has so much stuff in her house, and she won't let us get rid of any of it without a huge fight. Over Memorial Day, my Sner flew in and took Grandma off to my uncle's in Dallas while I got rid of years of newspapers, plastic containers, and rotten food. (Her basement was filled with food she had canned 20 years ago) It was awful. And Grandma is *still* pissed at me.

We bought her a paper shredded to handle all of her saved records and burned it out in two days.

*shudder*
