After spending the afternoon and early evening at the folks apartment it was decided to they would go home and leave them to fend for themselves. Dad is doing much better than the doctors expected health wise though he does still get confused from time to time.
This morning while I was in the shower Frances called. Mom had called early this morning to tell her she could not do anything with dad and she needed help. They got dressed, arrived at the apartment to find dad sitting in his chair dressed, reading the paper. Mom was in an emotional mess. Al helped her back to bed while Frances talked to dad.
Mom is complaining about being afraid after the sun goes down. She was scared when dad was in the hospital and is now scared that he is home. Bottom line, she is afraid he will die in the night. To compensate she is telling him every move to make and following him around like a puppy dog. He is getting mad and frustrated and angry. Yea, I would too.
I already had plans to meet Bonnie for lunch and I wanted to get on to work since I was gone Friday afternoon. I left work this afternoon at 3:45 to go and have a chat with them. We had a good talk, we’ll see where it goes from there.
It was a warm, drizzly, rainy day. It was raining pretty hard when Bonnie and I walked uptown for lunch but had stopped when I left work. It’s started again on the way home.
