Well as some of you may know mum came out of hospital last Wednesday, carers were to come twice a day mornings and evening to help with personal care, and so hopefully to give me 20 /30mins break.
Right from the start she didn't want them but just about tolerated them until Sunday, when all I heard was I don't want people in I can manage, it became so bad yesterday that although mum had been up in the night she took herself back to bed (a first) at 8.45, carer arrived as usual 9.45 I know mum was awake as I could see through her doorway, but she wasn't getting up, so to save mum being annoyed again I told carer to leave it as mum wasn't up yet, HEY HO, two minutes later she gets up, lol G n short of it is I've now cancelled the carers all together as I can't face the twice daily battles. So this now means it's all up to me,
Got up this morning 6.45 (and I must of slept through mum getting up) to find mum asleep on the sofa fully clothed ( she can dress herself after a fashion but it's difficult for her and really exhausts her,) with coat on heating switched on full blast.She has a hospital appointment today for which I've arranged transport and a wheelchair butt it's not until 2 pm. So now will need to undress her to get her incontinence pad changed etc washed and redress her, life is just so much fun don't you find.
Not really looking for advice but just amazed at her determination to get her own way!
