Kadee we are on hospice as of Feb. This year. Dr and nurse will bring new med tomorrow for rest. He has been gibberishing and kicking since 5pm. I gave 1 ml liquid ativan at 9, still awake. Nurse happen to see him Mon afternoon while he was at his worst - he was agitated (severely). Bp high. She stayed almost 2 hrs until bp was normal. She should be here tomorrow. My nerves have settled, eyes crossed from reading older posts. Sorry to rant.
I thank all of you for your support. This is the only support I get and I am on meds, just been out for a few weeks and sure do feel it. Before I ran out I already knew I would need to have them stronger. I am also going to a support group next Tuesday and will see if the people there are actually caregivers or just Alz. workers who have never laid hands on a true patient. Anyway, this site and the members mean the world to me and I know the Lord directed me to this site two years ago. It is so informative and needed. Thanks again to all of you and I wish all of you an early Mother's Day in case I don't get back here until after that. May we all have a great day with much rest and many smiles.
I am going to start going to a dementia caregivers support group on the 3rd tuesday of each month. I truly hope it is helpful to me. Another hope is that I don't go in and immediately break down in tearsl
My support group meets weekly on Tuesday morning while hb is in a support group with Purdue speech pathology grad students. It's a mind saver! We have tissue on the table for anyone who needs it; don't worry about breaking down in tears. If folks don't understand and support you,.... Our facilitator is young (comparatively speaking) & wonderful. Her hb had Early Onset LB; so she's walked in our shoes.
