Commitment

Now it is my turn, my pleasure and my commitment to be there for her and with her, whatever it takes.

At Ramada

Mom called me from GOV.
I could her roommate and knew she was calling from her phone.

Mom said: "I drove to town today"
I asked: "Who's car did you take?"
Mom: "it was your sister's car"
I asked: "Mom I don't have a sister, what color was it?"

I asked: "What did you get up town?"
Mom: "I don't remember"

Mom: "I'm at Ramada, down that long hall, you need to come and pick me up"
I asked: "You have a bed and your warm?
Mom: "Yes"
I told her: "Why don't you just stay there tonight and I will come get you in the morning."

The next morning she did not remember any of it.

Going home

I was called by Angie at Golden Oaks Village.

She said mom was wanting to go home.

When I got to GOV she was sitting by the door.  She wanted to go to the duplex that her and dad lived in.  I said that she lived here now and there wasn't anything there.  She told me there was.

Then she said just take me home with you and I will sleep on the floor.  I told her I lived up stairs and that she couldn't get up the stairs.  She cried and cried.

I took her back to her room and "udie" helped get her in bed.  I sit until she went to sleep.

Bingo

I took Mom to Bingo tonight.  She kept forgetting what Bingo game we were playing.  She really enjoyed seeing her friends.

Mom got sick

Sunday and Monday mom starting getting sick.  She was throwing up and not eating.  Getting weaker and weaker.  She fell down several times.  Couldn't walk from the bed to the bathroom.  I tried to get her moved to assisted living, but when the nurse arrived she was going to have to go to The Nursing Center.

Bengi and I moved her over to the Nursing center.  Then the girls came up and helped me moved her stuff out of the apartment.

If she gets to walking again, she can go to "Assisted Living", but she has to be incontinent.  I am hoping that Therapy will help her.

Life is going to be totally different.  She now has a room mate.
