Hi All,
I just wanted to update everyone on my situation, We had our granddaughters birthday party at our place on Saturday, and Mum decided to go for a walk in the morning { without telling us} we found her down a quiet dirt road heading toward the creek, so I lost it ,as usual, and yelled at her and told her she was going into the aged care home as soon as I could get her in there. She just looked at me , with no emotion.
Recently the care home rang and offered us a share room for Mum ,we refused, thinking she would be happier in her own room. Now I am thinking ,I was wrong.
She is still swearing and cursing all the time as she walks around,and seems to be very unhappy with the world, but when you ask her she says she is happy . I'm so confused myself about what do do.
I am still getting over my surgery and can drive now short distances and walk [with the help of a wheelie walker] I have carers coming in 1 and half days a week to help with Mum and I am now going to tell them to take Mum for a walk and wear her out on those days
I send my best wishes to all the carers and family and hope we can all keep, stress free.
Regards
Paris 07
