Rained Out

The game I was going to today was rained out so the day's schedule has changed a bit. Instead of baseball games and hot dogs it is going to be Mom and moving. Mom is seriously considering moving to a different apartment within the facility she is living in now. It is a nicer apartment but a few more steps to the dining room and to the elevator. She likes the apartment a little better because it is closer to the activity room where she plays bridge. In addition she likes the fact that the bathroom is off of the bedroom instead of between the living room and bedroom. This makes for a much larger living room. I am going out a little while to do some measuring just to see how far it is from her apartment now and the new apartment to the dining room etc. Then she can make some decisions.

Off to explore the moving possibilities. Hope this is a great day for all of you.

It sounds like your mother has settled in nicely, Bill. Do you think she'll end up staying there?

Hi Bev

No I think she will move home in September. That is my guess.

The other caregiver wants to come back and really misses mom and I think that is what will happen.

You think she'll move home again? Your experience seems to be mirroring mine, except that your mom seemed happy in the new place and mine never was. But she soon decided after moving home that that really wasn't going to work, so maybe your mom will be moving back to the place after a while. I sure hope it all works out okay for you.

Hi Pat

Truthfully, Mom has never been happy in the place she is in and frankly, after visiting there several times I can understand why. It is very depressing. She was just telling she was happy when she really wasn't. She moved into a new apartment today and when she moved she wanted to get some stuff from home so we hired movers. Since the movers were going to be at mom's house early in the morning we spent the night there last night. It is the happiest I've seen mom in months. So I am pretty sure mom is going home by September if not earlier.
