[Dailydrool] Pierre "gets me every time" and a little drool for my Mom, please

[Pat Mayer]

Dear Jackie,   Your post about your mother really struck a cord.  It sounds
like what we keep experiencing with my MIL.  She has been in a nursing home
since January.  She had only been there 3 weeks when she broke her hip.  It
seems like we are constantly put in the position of 'policing' the nursing
home.  Every month its something else. She is an Alzheimer's patient. She's
had this for ten years and we managed it far better than 'they' do! I am
almost of the opinion that patients with these conditions just don't fare
well because our society does not seem to 'cope well' with caring for them,
in general. My FIL and I are having our quarterly 'care management' meeting
with them this morning. I just pray that my MIL won't have to go through
this much longer.

The one thing I know for sure is what I tell everyone now...go
everyday...its the only way to look out for your loved ones...the problem
is, that it is very difficult for most families to do this what with
everyone needing to work nowadays..how sad it all is.

I will keep you in my thoughts.

Good luck with your mom.

Pat

Drool to all in need.
Luv and Kissies too.
