(no subject)
I just sent this to almostgold and figured I ought to share it with others, since I only (obnoxiously) come here to vent sometimes like a crazy-person.
Sorry, I emo-d out on LJ the other night and never updated. The abbreviated story of what's going on is my mom is still really nuts (with dementia but she's also having delusions, paranoia, some aggression, etc.) and the skilled nursing facility has been trying to push her out before I have a proper place for her to go.
On top of that, finding her a place has been a complete nightmare because of insurance issues and her behavioral issues. I'm starting to look at places almost an hour away from me out of desperation. It's just been an insane nightmare. I've had several nights where I just laid awake crying, worrying about it. And I spend about a half hour every day crying about it. So, yeah, that explains the emo post!
It seems to be coming to a small end. I've found two places that *might* take her if I can get her Medi-cal sorted out. And a third board-and-care that sounds totally fly-by-night (they just opened and will take anyone), which I may place her in for a month or two while I find her a better place.
Needless to say, this is the absolute shittiest (pardon my language) way to spend a holiday vacation ever!
I hope yours is going much, much better.
