Mum’s carers have been visiting for a week now.
The review is in a few hours and we’re invited.
The fact that medication went to Level 2 within a day of the carers starting tells us that her care will probably be permanent now.
Four visitors a day means that she is hydrated, fed, medicated and even bathed on a regular basis.
I wonder if a visit to the hairdressers would be welcome? She used to go every week.
Early resistance to accepting her memory loss is slowly easing.
A big part of this progress is down to my other half, Gill.
She really has stepped up and become the daughter Mum never had.
She’s actually looking at the house as more than a guest.
She has bought her a new microwave, much safer than the hob she had.
Gill’s caring nature took some battering last week as Mum fought tooth and nail against any suggestion of change.
Now they are pals and change is easier to effect as Gill knows how to word things.
Being hydrated and fed and properly medicated means Mum is lucid most of the time too.
I’m grateful.
Grateful to you guys for your support and suggestions, to Gill for really going the extra mile and to the efficacy of the town’s Adult care Team whose processes actually do work.
More later.
