Well she is doing really well.
Since she hasn’t been doing anything other than wandering around hospital for 40 minutes each morning for exercise her leg movement has I’m proved greatly pain manageable and actually best she has been since Xmas.
Was even talk she could go home if she doesn’t over do it.
Yesterday hospital rang and head honcho said to me she is adamant she doesn’t want to go home for fear o fall basically loss of confidence.
So they pulled some stings and there’s a semi independent aged care facility/wing at hospital but for what ever reason she was adamant I’m not leaving my private hospital room. Nurses took her fo a tour of aged care area, nup not going.
So wife and I went up and explained she had to go they need bed space but she had trouble comprehending it’s exactly the same just larger, a rec area a library a small kitchen and nurses will come 3 times a day and meals provided exactly the same and a alert button to be worn at all times.
Eventually we got her shifted . She had choice of rooms but gave her the best one with view of her house and garden about 60 metres away. Facility costs $52.50 per day at this stage meals medical support washing done can shower herself o nurses do it allocated exercise time with carer if she wants to go to her garden 6 hours per week.
Finally I rang her last night she loves it best place she agreed.
Now the scary stuff had maybe 7 or 8 photos in her hospital room , don’t want them, I said this is your new home give it a personal touch. Take em home she said. Anyway set em up in her new room only 10 minutes after this discussion, and she saw the photos oh you’ve been home and got photos thanks. Got to hospital and she asked how much rain I said 7mm.
We got to her new room looking out window still raining she look at the lovely rain didn’t know it was raining today. She had a account to pay and I took the bill to fix it up she must have asked 8 to 10 times if I had it over space of two hours.
Really really going backwards upstairs at a rate of knots my wife said wow she gone backwards in last 4 days and more since her fall Good Friday.
My sister can’t handle it estranged brother can’t handle so buck stops with me as they say. I’m hoping once she settles might arrest the slide both her parents had dementia one bad other not to bad, bit fearful of future to be honest.
Estranged brother a old age biker with chip on his shoulder smokes weed evey day lives interstate well well well has hand out for money. Beat the crap out of him when I was sixteen he was guessing 23 ain’t got on since I mean I belted the living begeebers out of him, stayed on farm for a few more years didn’t get one blended mom and dad for every cent, had another blue told him to eff off and has lived interstate comes home every couple years causes trouble moves on. Last 20 yrs mom and dad bought him 2 houses harleys cars etc etc doesn’t work. Anyway I’ve got mothers cheque book boy has he been at the pig trough last 18 months. Any way mum losing the plot a little said yesterday brother rang up for 10k normally she doesn’t tell me well I said no you need it for your aged care and said any money paid out has to go through me.
If got a testing time coming up.
Will to be contested for sure but he’s very very well looked after in it.
Biggest fear and moms is she loses the plot completely and just lays there not knowing who we are and lingers on for years and years.
Soy for novel and personal stuff
Unusual situation
Oh PS they cleaned out the old care facility in initial stages of cv19 and nobody there in cases hospital was overwhelmed, that’s why it’s empty, and they pulled strings as cv19 being relaxed everyday so they let her in there but until further notice nobody else allowed in there cause oldies don’t know social distancing etc. will be another three weeks before others can go in there at least.
