About a mother; about a son
Just an update. Today there was a meeting about my mother moving to a differnt dimentia care home because of her continuing aggression. Other residents have become a friend of her, and she has been mildly violent again. Given the people she lives with (all in their 80s and 90s), there is probably nothing like mildly violent. She is VERY medicated and still acting out. Apparently, her husband is being required to find another place for her to go,but he is 92 years old and so weak in so many ways. For 92, he is one of the world's heroes. I don't have knowledge of UK services and facilities nor do I have her power of attorney for health care. Nor is she mentally competent to give it to me. As for my son: like Dyanne's son last month, he is in a sort of honeymoon period. He continues to use and we continue to subsidize him, but he is using marijuana less, his periodic rages are less with the diabetes pump, and he seems somewhat apologetic and loving at times. In fact, his Mother's Day telephone call (we are out of town for several weeks) was all that one could hope for and he usually has disdained being two-faced. What will I be saying a month from now.
