With mums bungalow on the market, and her now seeming to accept the fact that she will be staying in the home, things were looking up! BUT, she told us last week that a "helpful" visitor (when she was walking in the garden, possibly after we had left after the annual garden party) had told her that she wasn't a prisoner and was free to leave any time as long as she paid her bill! Argh!
Unbelievable that someone who knows nothing about her situation would say something like this to a resident. Am very angry, as when we saw her again yesterday, she actually remembered this, and it has really unsettled her, so not a good visit!
We are back to "I'd rather die than stay here, and I shall give up"! Etc
I have to say that when we left, she waved happily out of the dining room window, and probably forgot about it while she had her lunch.
Just not looking forward to future visits as it will probably be the main topic of conversation! How us it she can't remember things I tell her, but this subject will be stored for a long time, I suspect?
