im doing a down in the dumps post , I do wonder everyday what will happen with mommy dearest , if things keep going down hill with her behaviour its full time psychiatric care , the dementia department where she is is modern, heavily camera monitored they all have individual rooms and shower rooms , they do lock them in at night and i do think that shes well looked after . But we did look round the very few options when she first came off Council care , they were pretty grim , places with few staff no cameras and that funny smell . Shared rooms are a no no as she did try to suffocate another patient for snoring at the hospital . Plus she has a history of trying to injure staff and being sectioned . I dont think anyone including the doctors expected her to live this long . They can no longer dose her with anti psychotics because of her heart, they at least gave the staff a rest from her endless abuse , the home is ringing every day about what has happened . If she was a pet we could have her put to sleep and it would be a kinder option for her and everyone around her . Shes not even covered by the new euthanasia legislation . So this could drag on for years or it could end any second , nobody knows . I wish her GP was Harold Shipman at times .
I'm so sorry Kate, you are having a really horrible time of it.
