Wednesday Update
Just talked to mom. Good night, but the morning has been horrible. Dad woke up wet, so mom was helping him get in the shower. He was was swearing at her, said he didn't understand why he has to take the damn shower. Asked her how much it was going to cost him. Mom said she remained really calm and explained that he needed to be clean, it would help feel better. Guess he slapped his hand with his fist and told her to hell with it. He did get undressed, and then climbed in the shower with his towel around his waist. Mom was good, but said she has had it. She is afraid he is doing to hit her. She spoke with her friend, Carolyn last night. Carolyn had gone to a some sort of service with her friends, and the pastor was talking about his mom, her Alz, and his realization she needed to be placed somewhere that would be better for her. He was helping his mom, nothing really difficult, and out of nowhere, she slapped his face. He knew then, that he had held onto her too long. Mom said she needs to let go. She has done a lot of thinking and feels that dad will be better off. Told her to hang in there, and Fred will be up this afternon to pu the bells on the doors.

well....when she's fearing for her own safety, it's time. That's when LaRae Ball put AV in the home, when she was fearing he'd hurt her and he was mean and uncontrollable. And they can, hit people. And also, he's losing control of his elimination process (trying to put this delicately) and next comes #2. Mom would not be able to cope
ReplyDeleteCORRECTION: I am checking out Legacy at 4:00 pm today. Told mom that I would be up with dinner afterwards.
ReplyDeleteWell,,that pretty much seals the deal..And Ann, you are correct on the stress of #2..Obviously things are going downhill from here. Thnx for keeping us in the loop Celia, and thnx to Fred for his help with this too...Standing by..
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with saying pee and poop?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to be mannerly and refined. I live in farmland, you know. Sometimes I just have to act civilized.
DeleteMission Accomplished: The bells are on the doors. Each door has a senser, so if it is opened, the doorbell plugged in down the hall will ring. I will test it tonight. Should be fun.
