Hi Haven't been on for a while. last time I posted my mother had been having falls and wanted to move in to my home, which wasn't feasible at all.
To cut a long story short she fell about 4 times during Christmas. First fall was out her backyard - I was in hall and she went out back. Door slammed and knocked her over - 2 black eyes and and a big bump to head. Then she was staying at mine christmas eve - fell and broke a rib. Fell twice more so I phoned ambulance. Very bad infection and broken 2 bones in her neck. Really very poorly but definitely on the mend now.
She is wearing a harness and brace to help heal. Now that medically she is ok, they plan to send her to rehab. I know it's for her mobility but i am very scared about what the future holds. May God forgive me, but part of me hopes she will be assessed as not being able to come home. She is aggressive and demanding - last night at the hospital she threatened to throw her drink round me and then told me to f*** off because I wouldn't take her home with me. How can she not remember what she had for lunch but she remembers that she wants to live in my house?
I have written before about how she hates being alone and that myself and sons each stay overnight with her. I bring her to my house every afternoon and she stays for dinner and goes home at around 7 or 8 depending on what time the sitter comes at.The sitter then stays until one of us comes to stay or until she goes to bed. To be honest, the boys have both said they prefer staying in their own beds, and although I have been going to visit her twice a day it is less stressful than the usual routine. My cousin went to see her this afternoon and I had a lovely day - just chilling and doing very little. It was so nice. My sundays are usually spent with her.Forgive me for waffling
