GLASSMANOAK'S Contest Thread #170 for WINNERS !!!!

[CountBoredom]

Got my mom checked out of skilled nursing and into assisted living today. Her enthusiasm waned considerably when we arrived--I'm not sure what she had in mind, but she was terribly let down, and doesn't believe me when I tell her that a lot of other places are worse. I think she'd gotten used to the homey atmosphere of laying in bed all day (aside from therapy) and having people bring her things in bed instead of having to hoof it to the dining area and actually appear to be sociable. Time will tell, I guess. I'll be visiting her tomorrow and bringing her TV (the loaner she has right now has an issue with the remotes) as well as a few other things....

Wifey's Mom is doing really bad. Her nurse saw her today and she probably only has a couple days or maybe a week . Wifey is going to take this really hard, she hasn't been doing very well herself. Please include both of them !

You got it JPF..........for all of you......

No, it's never easy. The rational mind says that this is the best thing, but the emotional side always yearns for life to just go back to the way it was. I'm fortunate that I'd done a lot of the legwork earlier with my friend's dad (the "FRAD"), so the research was there--and I have no reservations that this is the best choice for her. I think the best way to make the transition easier is to make sure that contact is maintained: lots of visits, invitations to go "out" once she's capable of tolerating it, etc.

I'm going to retire for the evening. Good night, Treefam!

Good luck to both of you with the transition...it's never easy, but you are doing the right thing. And she'll most likely come around pretty soon, especially once she gets to know some of the other people there.

@liblue1 I hope all went well. I was thinking about the shell and trying to send positive thoughts and energy.

Goodnight Treefam. Happy dreams.

 

[Mandikay]

Good morning everybody
Still super busy.. Your right @SLM it's so hard to slow down.
@CountBoredom hopefully your mom will get used to it and actually start to like it. I know it's hard but I think the socialization will be good for her. My grandmother didn't care for it at first but came to like it alot.. Being able to socialize with others her age turned out to be really good and she made alot of great friends
@jpf880 sending lots of positive energy and healing thoughts to you and your family.

Well gotta get moving, have a great day everyone [emoji268]

 

[angelphyre]

Morning Treefam...busy, busy day ahead...need more coffee fortification!

Hope everyone has a great day.

 

[jpf880]

Good Morningnite All !

 

[CountBoredom]

Good morning, everyone.

Making friends and socializing is the reason I pushed for assisted living for my mom. The alternative was for her to return to her condo, relegated to her third floor bedroom (because she is unable to negotiate stairs), with only a home care attendant and the occasional visiting physical therapist and/or nurse for regular company. I figure in assisted living, while she can still choose to spend her day watching TV from bed, she also has the option of doing other things and seeing other things.

So far so good Blue but I found out UPS hasn't made it yet. That just doesn't happen so I'm sure there is something coming.

Take a break, go for a drive. Maybe stop and got a hot chocolate and enjoy it in a park? Just a thought.

Hope everything is well. Catch ya later. I think I'm going to have some lunch in a bit.
