I’m worried about mum. Yesterday when I went to visit her I found her in her nightgown still. She didn’t go to rehab or do anything.and she thought it was morning when it was 3:30pm
I talked to the nurse before I left and said this is how she gets when she gets a bladder infection. She gets ornery, confused and wants to be in bed all the time. But there’s nothing else I can do. Just go back later and check up on her.
I think a lot of it is psychological as her 95th birthday is in a couple of weeks and we went threw this last year too. She gets depressed and discouraged. Also her feet have swollen though her left one has gone down, it’s just more evidence to her that she’s dying. I’m no longer sure she’s coming home.
