Please Pray for my Mom
I am afraid i may have lost my mom, she had back surgery on 8/14 and she has not been the same since. It started at the hospital, she became very aggitated and pulled all of her tubes out so they restrained her till i could be there with her to keep her calm, she went from the hospital to a rehab facility, 1st night there she hit one of the directors with a wet floor sign, so again i had to stay with her to keep her calm. Since then either me or one of my daughter's has had to stay with her several nights because she becomes very aggitated,confused or frightened. She has had very terrifying nightmares of her being killed or babies being killed or her being raped among other dreams of people having guns, i could go on but there is just too much that she has mentioned. We have tried a few different med's to help her sleep, the first 3 or 4 days she was there she didnt sleep at all, then finally got the dr. to give her something. Today the staff had a meeting and the therapist says he thinks she is as good as she is going to get as far as threapy goes, therefore she will no longer qualify to stay there, we will have to find someplace else for her to live, she can not live alone, i can not afford to quite my job, she has very good ins. till Jan1 and then i dont know what she will have, GM is dropping survieing spouses. I miss my mom so much, i have cried & cried i just dont know if i can deal with her being like this for the rest of her life,she's only 73. They have her on med's for delusions (sp), i have an app with her dr tommrrow i am going to see if we can send her to a place called Generations to have her detoixed and start from scratch on her meds and hopefully find out just how bad she is. I am sorry it seems i only post here when i have a problem but i do come here often and ready everyones post. I just want my mom back, i cant stop crying. Please pray for her to get better.
Thank You Lynne
