Nursing home,
Hi everyone and thank you for replies. I can't figure what is going on. Went to c T today and was told he was being transferred to another psy place in town. In ten minutes!! All organised. Reason, more suitable, bed needed, more staff needed, t needs 1 on 1 et al!! As far as I can figure this is a long stay facility but T there for monitoring meds, behaviour and then going back to NH. The latter can't manage him at the moment. They assured me in June that they could manage all aspects of Alz. My niece (in medical area ) suspects that he won't be able to go back to NS. What on earth will happen then.
I don't know if I am coming or going.
I stayed with him in new facility for ages. Heartbreaking. He couldn't remember how to eat and refused help. A stones heart would turn over watching him.
I hate this disease and am so angry with our health board in Ireland. I have everything switched off except emergency phone and I can't be bothered talking to absent family members or invisibles!! All they will want to do is visit him, torment me and ask me stupid questions. My tolerance is zero at the moment. My focus is on T. Am rabbiting as I can't describe how I feel, devastated, angry, depressed, heartbroken and annoyed at lack of information. Why is a behaviour change seen as separate to Alz disease? I have read so many papers from specialists and researched it and some people have behaviour changes. All part of this disease.
Keep me in your thoughts so I don't go stark raving mad or flying through the fog with the dancing pigs. Fortunately I have no alcohol in the house or a life long pledge might be broken!!
Blessings to everyone,
Aisling xx
