      His partner feels worse than he does. Poor guy. Does he have any say in this guy's care plan?
      He does. He is paying for his partner's care, thus the dementia home. Honestly, though...his ideas of where his partner is, cognitively speaking, is way off. He wants us to treat the man his partner once was...but that man is gone.

      Basically, the client's partner is the only reason the client is at the dementia home. If it were up to the county, the client would be at the home for the violently insane. I am afraid the partner is wrong in his estimation of where the client is, mentally.

        It's true, Zen.

          Zen he is in a really nice clean place. I did my leg work and homework before moving him there. That does ease things but I know it will hit the fan someday...but I will have to deal with that later.

            Nettie - my cousin got violent in the end. Wanted to kill his sister. Was making elaborate plans for his partner to help him escape. Then would get upset when they wouldn't do that. I think it was awful at the end for them.

            I know that when my Dad was in ICU for weeks on end, he ended up with ICU psychosis. It is an awful thing to watch/experience. One morning the 'lung doctor' (can't remember his official title) came in and just patted me on the arm. He said it's ok, I've seen much worse. :upset:

              Ok - I'm sorry but I can see that I'm running way behind. I'm not going to try to catch up. But, I'm here now.

                Oh gosh...Nora, Dottie...
                You all have done all you can. Please do not feel badly about your loved ones and where they are at.

                Some things are a normal part of declining and leaving this world. We all love our parents and other relatives. Some stuff just cannot be avoided. :l

                    There goes Nora's Stability Ball!!! :H Was wondering if that was gonna work for us... guess not!!! ;o)

                    Dottie... you must put yourself first my dear... you are the priority.

                    I'm taking my wheezy sneezy self off to Tudor-ville! I can't believe I've been sick with this shit so long... I'm really peeved. Whatever this virus is, it got me good.

                    Bill is out, the cats are fed and snuggling with me, the house is quiet... just about to fire up the Tudors again and chill. I don't give a shit if I'm not well tomorrow, I am DONE with convalescing. Mama might have to come down and bail me out! Or Niner now that I think of it... that girl's getting SERIOUS connections!

                    Love youz! Sleep tight. I'm off to watch men wearing tights............. X

                      Wanted to comment and send hugs to everyone's wonderful, witty post tonight but the twins had a huge awful fight...Sedona threw up in the car and I am just tired and dysfunctional now....looking for the remote to keep watching breaking bad. ...

                      Has anyone seen the remote????:upset:

                      Love you all,

                          Good morning, my peeps!

                          Bright and sunny so far today, and my daffs are really coming along. After my shift today, I'm going to run a load of yard waste to the dump.
