Day 1529

Sep 15, 2011 06:03

Last night, Mom claimed that she was very very dizzy and it wasn't safe for her to go to the bathroom without me there. (I have been saying that right along.) This morning- after 5 hours of sleep- I get over there as fast as I possibly can... and she has already wet the bed ( Read more... )

I'm so sorry sweetie.

She does probably qualify for some sort of in-home help. Self-toileting is a basic "ADL" (activity of daily living) and if she can't do it herself, that is serious impairment. She can get help based on this.

I've suggested it but she refuses to even consider it.

(& you are welcome honey, thinking of you xoxoxo)

Oh geez. What FG said - incontinence and not being able to got o the bathroom by herself are enough to get some help. You're right, this is not sustainable.

She's not going to let that happen. So, for now, we'll go on until she falls again because I just couldn't be there and then I'll refuse to have her come home with me as care giver.

Be the wall!

Echoing what the lovely ladies above me said--help is clearly needed, and no, this is not sustainable. I hope you're able to get something worked out soon. Thinking of you.

Something to think about if you can't get home health, Respite Care.
