Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 To All: I will be slowly fading out over the next few weeks and going only to occasionally reading from the web most likely. I will miss you all but at this time I must regroup enough to design a living pattern for my mother. We brought her home from the Senior Diagnostic Center in Topeka, KS yesterday and to my surprise (big surprise) her dementia is much worse than even I imagined. They comforted me by saying she had fooled everyone and even had them fooled for the first 5 days she was under observation. It seems I had been trying to give her too much freedom and too many choices to help maintain her self-esteem and feeling of importance. I tend to assess things on the worst case scenario vs the best case scenario and try to find a center ground somewhere in between but with backup ready to handle the worst to the best of things that might happen. Well, I missed the boat with mother. She tested out much worse than I thought so now it's time to devote more attention to her and prepare for what lays ahead. (Sigh) They were able to find a couple meds that seem to be helping for the time being but it will only be a temporary fix. So I will be bidding you farewell for now. Please keep in touch with my personal email: slesline@... if you choose. I wish only the best for all of you as I try to build enough energy to tackle yet another health problem within the family. All my love from the beautiful rolling flinthills of Kansas Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
