The last Thursday in 2004






                                                                      The last couple of days has
                                                         been crazy.  Where to 
                                                         start?

                                                        I told you that the place
                                                        where my aunt has been
                                                        living wants us to move her.
                                                        We went to talk to her 
                                                        doctor and found out why.
                                                        Evidently my aunt has
                                                         started wandering and
                                                        taking her clothes off.
                                                         Yep, my aunt took her
                                                         clothes off in the dining
                                                          room.  She has also went
                                                          into a man's room and
                                                          flashed him.
                                                           Of course my aunt does
                                                           not remember doing
                                                           these things and thinks
                                                           people are lieing to here.
                                                           
                                                           Then yesterday I get a
                                                           call that the home is
                                                          sending my aunt to 
      
                                                          the emergency room.   
                                                           Why?  She isn't acting
                                                           herself and they had to
                                                           give her oxygen.
                                                           Long night at the ER to
                                                           learn nothing.
                                                           They did a cat scan this
                                                          morning but I don't know
                                                        what has come of it.
                                                         Still trying to find a place
                                                          to move my aunt to.  It
                                                          is not as easy as just pick-
                                                       ing a place out of the phone
                                                       book.  Even my lawyer is
                                                          having problems finding a
                                                        place.
                                                      So that is what has been
                                                      consuming my life this week.

You are not alone in your frustration. A few years back I was trying to find a place for my mother to finish her days out. What an ordeal. My mother WAS NOT cooperative at all and then last month right after Thanksgiving we were going through the same thing with my husbands Dad fortunetly he was cooperative and LOVES his new surroundings. My prayers are with you that you find a place for your Aunt and Peace within.

i don't know if this will help at all but my brother had an identical reaction to some medication he was prescribed .. he kept taking his clothes off .. we finally narrowed down which medication was causing the problem .. of course we did this without his doctors help .. since his doctor was NO help at all
i'm sorry you're going through all of this :(

Oh Kathy I'm so sorry, hon. This must be driving you crazy. Feel sorry that you've got so much on your lap right now. It's hard enough to take care of ourselves, much less somebody who has some real problems. Keep praying and trusting that GOD hears me. I know HE will help you get through it all. It is just HARD! Wish I were near enough to help in some way. Hugs, *Barb*

I'm sorry to read about your Aunt's condition and the challenges of finding a place for her.  It can not be an easy task as there is so much to consider in finding the right place, doing some research, going there, getting a feel for how the staff treats the patients....there's a lot to consider.   I will add my prayers to your prayers that the right place makes itself known to you and your family soon.

Wish I was close enough to give you a bear hug.

Happy New Year!
