Got my Mom moved to her new Nursing Home today

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I wanted to say, I got Mom moved today to the nursing home I wanted her in. It

was tiring on me to literally get her belongings, put in car, tons of them,

drive her over about 30 min. away, go inside the home, get a wheelchair, get her

new paperwork done by the new nurse, took about 45 min., then get all her

belongings out of my car, making 3 trips, putting all her things up, helping the

nurse take out the other ladies things out of the drawers so Mom will have a

place for her things, go back and forth inside and outside which this home is

huge so lots of walking, I have Lupus and my joint pain was OUT OF SIGHT today.

I got depressed, weak, tired, sick, but all in all, I was so happy I got this

all done for my Mom, and she is so happy too. In fact, she wasn't hallucinating

this morning. She was calm, great, and everyone knew her from 8 months ago when

she was there for rehab, and loved and loved her. I had to go back home and

take all the other things of hers, then drive back up there with more things.

This has been a very hard day for me, mentally and physically, but God was with

me, as my husband didn't go and help me as usual, its me and only me. And I

cried thinking that I so wish he would of helped me today, if only to help me

lift some of Mom's clothing, her belongings instead of me making a ton of trips.

But no can't do, I don't have any of his support like that. I come home, and he

didn't do the dishes, nothing to help me out. He is 64 and lost his job and

retired 3 months ago, so its up to me to do most of everything. I may move out

if I can one day. Only so much a human being can stand for.

Thanks all for listening to me, and praying for me and my Mom.

God loves you all.

Bless you!  I remember the day I moved my Mom to her care center, but I at

least had the help of my daughter and my Mom's caregiver at the time.  Thank

goodness, and I " m so sorry you had such a difficult time.  Hopefully things

will be better for you as you see your Mother adjusting and doing better in the

care center.

Oh dear , I am so sorry that you have Lupus, and had all that to do.

But, I am happy for you and for your Mom that she is now in a nice place.

You described exactly how it is with moving our loved ones, especially when

we hurt so bad we don't think we can take another step. I look back and

don't know how in the world I did all I had to do with man handling Don at

toilet, bed and chair all the time, and having gone through putting him in 5

nursing homes.

I hope and pray for you and your Mom that this place works out. If she was

loved, and loved the place, she should do all right.

May you feel better fast. I wish there was a cure for Lupus.

Love a Lot,

Imogene

Hi, I got her moved yesterday and she is doing real real real well. She told me

today she was not in her room all day, she was doing exercise classes they do

there, then Bingo, etc. She did tell me some wild stories though, but thats

part of the disease, but at least she isn't telling me wild stories constantly,

and she has her mind busy constantly here.

Thanks Imogene, I tend to stay in bed from like 6 p.m. on. I can go in the

mornings and get lots done, but afternoons I'm wiped out.

Thank you for well wishes for my Mom.

Love and prayers,

in Texas
