Just finished a three hour assessment with a nurse from caregiver solutions. She will write up an evaluation and make recommendations based on mom's needs. In about a month, we'll have the results of her assessment and a list of local resources that would fulfill those needs. The researchers try to find free or cheap resources, hopefully some that are covered by insurance, but the decision to utilize what they've found is our decision. I hope this pans out to more help. We'll see in a month!
It was weird, when mom was talking to the nurse. Time was turned upside down for her. She swore her sister died in the 80's (she passed in 2008), and that she had a relationship and a fall a year ago (I was a child). She's had her moments where time is morphed and stories are mixed up, but this was worse. I tried to tell the nurse that this was confused, but I'm not sure I got the point across. I was trying to tread carefully as Mom was already in her post-xanax grouchmode and hating everything I had to say to the nurse, even when I agreed her. She even chastised me for apologizing to the nurse when I squeezed by her to get to the kitchen; she accused me of apologizing on her behalf and demanded to know what she did wrong. She took grouchmode to the next level, which requires expletives to define. =P
