Thank you Maxwell for helping with the FB page. I sure hope something works out.
I called our vet to see if he knew of anyone. One of the staff said she would take him but she already has 1 dog & 2 cats. I don't know about cats. Beau has never been around any & it sounds like her house is full.
I don't know how long my Mom is going to remember Beau - her mind is going. I think she must have had a mild stroke since she's been in & it's only been a couple of weeks. I couldn't go today & tonight we have snow & ice. She called she's hungry & I said eat some of the ice cream or fruit cups in her mini-frig. She didn't know she had a frig & where it is. I had to explain that's what her Christmas tree is sitting on. She's bored - I tell her to turn on the TV & she says I have a TV? Meanwhile I have signs taped on how to turn on & off the TV.
Of course it don't help she has the mosaiced pic of Beau I made her above her bed. One day she will be asking me why that pic is there. And one day she won't know me.
Nurses are $50.00 an hour. NO WAY we could ever afford nursing. I tried getting someone 3 hours a day & that's what I would have had to pay. We pay $80 a day at the personal care home. I have caregiver burnout. She went kicking & screaming. She tells everyone I put her in a cell. So I put Cellblock 310 on her kleenex box & we make a joke about it. Alzheimer's is UGLY! |
