My OH is in a nursing home for 2 weeks, may well be extended, he is in a ground floor room, which means I can visit by waving to him through a window.
I suspect others maybe I the same situation.
My question is to those of you in a similar situation how often do you visit, how long do you stay?
My inclination is to visit at least every other day, the staff have been great and turn his bed so he is close to the window. But so far OH struggles to understand that I am there and as he is no longer able to communicate the opportunity is, I guess, just for my peace of mind, and therefore lasts only a very short time.
He knows me, I don’t want him to forget me or to think I have forgotten him.
I’m just curious to know what others do in similar circumstances? Will I drive the staff crazy? Will I drive myself crazy? Will OH even know I’m there?
