Today my Mother and I were talking about how we moved my grammy into a NEW old folks place the other day. She was in this assistant living type place...but they were too expensive and really not doin a good job, we moved her to another one. This new place apparently has even crazier people that wander about...hahahaha. My mother explained it perfectly to me in a funny conversation:
jbj3920: Went to see gammy last night. The place she's in now has some looney people who don't know who they are or where they are.
jbj3920:last night an old couple came into her room thinking they were at the grocery store; the night before, in the middle of the night, an old man came into her room went into the closet, thought it was the door to the outside, then tried to get into bed with her-he thought it was his, she yelled at him and he left. not too sure about this place.
b AbY14509: hahaha uh wow...
b AbY14509: why dont they keep these people locked in their rooms so they cant do that
jbj3920: well they want them to be able to walk around just not "escape" form the ward.
jbj3920: Grammy seems to be with it mentally more so than they are, but she didn't have this issue at the other place because the people didn't wander like they do here. They can keep her door closed but then the aids don't really pay much attention to her
jbj3920: if I ever get like that I told dad he will have to smother me with a pillow when I'm asleep.
b AbY14509: hahahah
b AbY14509: wow
b AbY14509: thats..pleasent
jbj3920: I'm not living like that in a place like that
jbj3920: you need to marry a rich man so I can have my own guest house by the water and servants to take care of me
b AbY14509: yes mother.
