I can laugh about this now, but last night was not so funny. Mom took four hours to go to bed. Yup, 4 hours. She is sleeping in her chair right now because she is so tired from last night. It didn't matter what I did, she wanted to go home. I gave her more medicine and that didn't help. I think she needs a stronger sedative for nighttime on nights like that. When we first went into bed she was fine, but after the fourth time getting up she wasn't. I must admit, I got very angry and upset over this. I tried to stay calm but she kept wandering and wanting to call me on the phone so we could go home. When she is like that there isn't anything I can do about it. I tried. I even tried to let her wander around on her own while I went into bed. That didn't work. I can't sleep while she is up like that. I did try several times. I even yelled at her that we were home. She didn't get it. I have no idea how other people deal with this, but I don't deal well with this issue at times. I expect her to get up from bed a few times before she stays for the night, but this was ridicules. Just ridicules. I hate this disease who is taking my mom away from me. This stranger in her place is not her. During the day, she is mostly fine and knows who I am and who she is, but mornings and nights are not the best. She is usually confused at both times of the day. Not a good thing anymore. I am getting to the end of my ropes with it.
Anyways, we shall see how the meeting tomorrow with the social worker goes, I have to bring a list of her medicines and I don't know what else. I can't take anymore of this this week so I hope the rest of the week is fine.
I hope your day is going well and your not getting tons of snow like we are.
