As you know she is now in the NH.
Day 1 she was okay, all things considered. We, that is to say I coped with the visit.
Day 2. Never have I seen her so upset. Can't get out/locked in. They are all potty here, I need the police, take me home now, I will be dead by the morning, never talk to you again/treat you as my daughter. This was all in the space of 5 minutes.
I left pretty quickly as I was distressed too but didn't want her to see it. I rang the NH on my return to see if she was okay. Answer - had a cup of tea and is now peaceful sorting out name tapes for her clothes with one of the carers. Forgotten I'd been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They tell me her angst/whatever is due to the fact that I am her lifeline to 'normality' and that I am going to get the lot for the next few days/weeks.
I think, I am going to have a day off tomorrow. I was so close to wanting to bring here out of there today but, I know I have to be cruel to be kind.
Pleeeeeeaaaaaase tell me I'm right and please tell me if there are better ways to handle the visits. This is heartbreaking! I'm still not convinced the medication is right.
Thanks
Judy
