I went up today for a visit with mom to senior care. I talked hubby into going with me because I was anxious/nervous about what I might see/find/hear.
We got up there, and found mom in the activity room. It was sad, all the poor people who needed geri-psych help.
Anyway, mom was happy. Abnormally happy. In a manic weird kind of way.
She was trying to tell us about all the "little old people" who were confused and didnt know where they were or where their spouses were, and about trying to help them. Then about her talking in a circle (therapy) and about watching TV with them. When we got ready to leave, she hugged hubby again and said "your my daddy now' which really really freaks him out.
So, in all it wasnt too bad. She seems happy, and not scared or upset, which I was afraid she would be.
Later this afternoon I talked to her social worker, who is helping me with contacts for a long term care bed, because mom cant be alone and we can't find a program that will give us the home health aid times we need. So I have to start calling facilities tomorrow.
Prayer partners, please pray that we find the right place and the red tape is just cut for us with ease.
