I want to go home, I want to go home



Oh how I want to go home!

Still at mom's. I think the end may be in sight though. I hope! I haven't been home since the first part of April and I really miss it.
I've made progress toward hiring someone to come in and help so that's good. She says she'll use the automated pill dispenser for her meds and I've been trying it out this week. Monday evening when I was cooking dinner it went off. She called out from the living room asking if I could shut that noise off.

No, I said, hoping she would get out of her chair and get the meds.
Instead she got up and went into the bedroom to get away from the noise. Sigh. Guess she forgot what it was for.

I am hoping her boyfriend will remember what it's for if I let him come back to stay for a while.

So sorry, Cat. I know how trying this must be for you...and how sad.

Yes, Teal seems to be right on the money.

Thanks Kristy. I'm working on a few ideas along those lines.

Dear Cat, it seems (remember I lived this) that she needs someone full time. I would leave food in the refrigerator, prepared and ready to eat, and Jay would forget to eat. I hired an aide (I was still working then) to be with him for the shank of the day till I got home to take over. Are you in a support group? They have resources.

I am in a group, although it's so big it's hard to get to know the others. I hired someone to help with cleaning and grocery shopping. I'll add more duties and time after a while. She's dead set against having someone in the house so we'll see how it goes. I figured out a way to test the boyfriend so I'll do that when he comes. Had to remind my mother to ask him three times! She says he's coming tomorrow. Cross your fingers! Thanks for your support!
