Mum had to be with me today at my house, workmen in Mum & Dad's not good for a confused lady. I picked her up early, we then had coffee, I did her hair, gave her a facial etc. She was Ok ish, wanted Dad but was happy when I told her he would be down for lunch. He came down for lunch, then went back home. She was getting stressed, but still accepting that Dad would come back and pick her up.
Where do these b----y delusions come from! Next minute I'm not her daughter, that's not new, the voiles are half down from the bay window, so to save losing the bay ceiling I unhooked the other end, I then got shoved and pushed, whacked and followed round the house with the net wire threatening me, trying desperately to back off so as not to make matters worse. I had to call Dad to come down, role reversal here as it's usually me going to their place in this situation. He's taken her home now and I feel such a failure. These delusions seem to be getting worse and worse, we had a dreadful end of week and had to call out the doctor Saturday (which in itself was an excercise in how to be bolshie to get what you need!). Mum's just (from Saturday) started taking Haliperidol does this help when it kicks in? The situation seems to be going from bad to worse and the old saying 'to hell in a hand cart' springs to mind. I don't know how Dad copes 24/7....I know I'm not, and I have to do this again tomorrow. Sorry to be miserable....this is obviously one of my not coping days......
