The place is amazing. It's more like a resort or a hotel or something. Hell, I'd almost be willing to move in there. But, she's miserable where she is, very lonely and sad (which is not like her at all, she's one of the most positive people I know).
But, she has to give up a lot of her stuff, and there's the whole will she be happy there thing. I've even asked her to move in with us, and she won't. I'd look for another place, one that would be more suitable for all of us, but she doesn't want to "burden" us, and, despite everything, she's still independent and wants a place of her own.
And, the social stimulation will be the best thing in the world for her, mood-wise, and in holding the dementia at bay.
It's just a shitty situation.
hey dg & KCNDA S
have to catch up rest of posts from berfore BrB
Dazz, are you going to Carnegie Hall on Sunday?
hey diannnnne!!
Hi, Dazz, how are you?? Hope all is well.
I'm going to be at the Gavin thing on Sunday. I'm undecided whether I want to try again to meet Bono (THE #1 item on my bucket list!), but I do want to meet up with you and other PLEBANs/Interferencers who might be around to say hi and talk about Our Guys!
I might be meeting up with some interlanders with whom I've been hanging out withthe last year a half b/c we go see UF here in NYC, or the rest of them (not me) in Northern NJ.
But i could look for you after....
and I don't know if laura will be there to hang out with too. (just saw and replied to her post)

Ha that's right too! But soon you'll finally stop living upside down right?
yep - if things go badly with the us government it might have to be in europe too. which will be okay for me, at least.
oh, and you're the upside down one
You and Katie are considering going to the UK, right?
How long have you guys been dating? And when do you think you'll be the next interference couple to tie the knot?

Mom had to chose her favorite stuff to take.
She had two places to put her beautiful collection of craft objets given to her by all of her family over the decades. AND over the years we put up photos I took and cards I made her up on the walls.
MY mom wasn't out of the house much in the last year or so in the family house ( I think the sttress had gotten to her in her legs and she had to go into the first Nursing home (nearby us where our dad had already been for a ? yr & half) for temporary rehab.
Even before that she wasn't out as much as a few years earlier but some times she was. She was certainly out at least 4 -5 years earlier, b/c she'd still take the bus to the green market--- something like that but a few years w/o as much getting out can take a toll.
When she ( after dad had gone there 5 months earlier) got to the final home-- it is a beautiful place. They have lots of things to do. So she had a lot of mental stimulation and much more contact with others there, along with our visits.
If you were to all move to a bigger place for her-- would you be able have a person in for her if she needed it, while you continue your studies?
I wouldn't want you worrying about her while you try to better your own life which woud be better all around for everyone.
S again, VP.
VP, my parents are struggling with whether or not it's time for my grandma to be moved to a home or not - no fun. I'm glad you've found a place you feel comfortable with. I'm sure it's not easy though - I hate the thought of my parents growing old and losing their health and independence. It is probably better though that she have her 'own' place. You and Sarah take care of eachother and hang in there.
yeah, if the us doesn't work out i'm led to believe that because my dad is scottish i'd be pretty welcome in the uk.
um...january, lol. something in 2010 is the only answer i have to that question!
