I am sitting here, in my mom's room, it's 8:07 pm and I've been battling her for at least an hour and a half. She continually tries to climb out of bed. If she does, she will fall a few feet to the ground. Not the first time she's done this but recently, the past week or more this is a nightly occurrence. And it's a frightening one. Twice now I have had to use soft restraints on her to keep her from climbing over.
I needed to feed our dogs so I left her for a few minutes with her psw while I quickly fed our dogs. The birds got no food yet though. I tried to get her to take a small, light sleeping pill but she refused it continually. I finally got it into her mouth, just a quarter of a pill, but I'm not sure she kept it in her mouth. I had to push it back in once then I had to leave her with the p.s.w. for a minute to go to the bathroom and I'm not sure if she spat it back out or not. The psw said she didn't but the girl isn't all too swift.

I'll be back
geez things are escalating so quickly. I had no idea. I'll be back to posting on this section as soon as I get some time. Have a short list of items I want to let you know about. Things that you would never think would happen to your elderly parent. Things you have never even considered. I never thought I'd be in this position with my mom in a million years. She has gone from a vibrant, driven, community oriented lady to someone that doesn't know my name at times or her name for that matter in less than 6 mths. :-(
