How the DW is doing

Hoot619

Yesterday she screamed at her Son then later his wife but Grandson Jon she knew.  She also had been yelling at me. At bedtime she was raising hell and got in bed by herself. She usually gets out of bed after a bit and sleeps in front room. She stayed in bed I kept checking camera to see if she made in to front room. 

When I woke up, checked on her she was on the floor had fell getting out of bed.  Called 911 and they came out and got her up. They tried to take blood pressure etc but she would have none of that.  Got her up and on her feet than to her chair.  ( 911 has a grant to get people up) this is about the 4th time in 9 months or so.    

 Tried to get her Depends changed -no way.. 4 hours later she let me change her- dry Depends clean pants.  Fixed her breakfast took DW 3 hours to finally eat it. Kept reheating it for her she just finished it. Watching her on camera now.

Tomorrow Doc appt, process of getting her to MC. Got some statements faxxed today.  Just hope DW will let me get her there. Then to top it off yesterday, went outside for a break and pulled ivory plants off my rasberry plants dams bees got me good, I got even later.   All in all I'm ok a Good Day but some bad moments.

Hoot, I'm so sorry. It sounds as if MC is the best fit for her now. I know how hard that can be, but once there, she will probably respond to others much differently than she does to you. When my wife went in MC, the aide said she could do whatever she needed to do with my wife without a problem. It's just a completely different atmosphere.

My greatest fear was what would happen if I took her to MC. I got lucky, and she went straight from the hospital to MC. I wonder if there is a way for you to have her transported by ambulance?? Wishing you well. Keep us posted.

Hoot, I hope the doctor visit goes well tomorrow. Glad she knew her grandson and didn’t yell at him. You and your wife are in my prayers. Wishing the best for you and your family.

The bee’s are terrible this year at our place too and dang it they hurt! I also got messed up with some bumblebee’s the other day, first time to ever get stung by them and yep they hurt! Good for you for getting even with yours! Some satisfaction there!

Got the DW's soxs,Depends and shirt on her no bra. I started early knowing that shower time was going to take a while.  Will get her pants and shoes on around 2PM. Than to get her into the truck.  Be at Doc's at 2:45  Might take 30 minutes to get her in truck. If I can get her in I always can drive around for a while. She is stubborn , her and the dog make a good pair but I can bribe the dog.  I liked the Strategies  for Dealing, trying to follow it to the best of my ability.  Having a good Day but some bad moments.  Hoot

Good luck today Hoot!  I laughed about her and the dog, but you can bribe the dog.  I can still bribe my DH with a promise of going out to eat after whatever it is we have to do.  How about some chocolate for her?

We made it 15 minutes early, I didn't think I would ever get her out of her chair. Got Med. paperwork done now just hope everything else goes ok.  They heard us come in, so did everyone else. DW wasn't a happy camper.  But our nurse took us right in. Yes I'll give her a chocolate treat after supper.  I'm feeling good and also choked up on what will take place in a few days, my Higher Power is in charge not me. Hoot

Hoot it's great that you got her there and things got taken care of right away. Chocolate or Ice cream sounds like the reward dw needs. Being choked up is so hard. Your doing the right thing for your dw, but it just doesn't take away a heartache.  Thanks for you update. Hoping everything goes well.

Hoot thanks for the update. Glad the dr visit went well. Who cares about the bra, just let that hassle go. I wish you luck with the placement. I will be praying for you and your dear wife.
