Well day two was a disaster.
Can you believe Mum didn't want to leave the home. She said she was happy there then chaos finally descended.
The first day mum woke up back at home she was angry and confused. Typically on repeat "who is this person in my house? Why is she here? I don't want her here. Who is she? I do everything myself. I don't need any help..
Crisis descended. I called the care home to see if they had a room. Meanwhile brother happy in Canada as carer had sent him a picture the night before of mum smiling and happy back at home.
So much for taking a back seat. Brother says to carry on !!!! Carer and mum seemed to settle a bit yesterday but only if mum doesn't really see carer who hides mostly in her room as she said if mum saw her she got cross. I feel so sorry for carer.
Many many repeated calls from mum to me "I don't want her here. Who is she? Who made this happen"? Over and over again.
She cannot even remember the home now or anything. Nor the fall. So she is tearful' suspicious and paranoid. She wants reassurance all the time and for me to fill in the gaps. How frightening must that be?
If I said how I really felt I would have my post deleted!! Onwards and upwards.
Carer said she wanted to leave as she did not know what to do. The trouble is the whole pattern will start again each morning mum wakes up. It's a fresh shock again to her to have a stranger in her house and of course, she does everything for herself...........
