My mother returned from the rehab center on Wednesday. There was a big discussion about bringing in a night watcher to make sure the oxygen machine that she is now permanently on did not stop working while she slept. it was going to cost a fortune but my mother could afford. The big question was when was the night sitter going to show up on Wednesday. Roberta arrived and told us there wouldn't be a night sitter because my mother refused to sign the contracts. The night would be spent sans sitter. And every night since then. No problem with the oxygen cutting out.
The one issue we did have was my mother was afraid to go up stairs to bed. I don't know what she thought would happen to be afraid of, but she didn't want to go up. I eventually convinced her that I would stand and watch while the caregiver did all the maneuvering to get her from the kitchen to her bed. The entire pavane took a half hour. She got up from her to a walker. Then from a walker to a wheel chair. The wheel chair went to the hall way to the stair lift. But in order to get into the stair lift, she had to get out of the wheel chair and up on the walker so she could turn around onto the chair of the stair lift. The whole process was done in reverse at the top of the stairs. Like I said. It took a half hour from kitchen vampire.
The user/leach was waiting for us at the house when my mother returned home. I was called back from lunch to help get my mother into the stair lift to take her up to the kitchen. I then went back to complete my lunch.
Here we are five days later and my mother has decided not to leave the bed. She doesn't read her daily paper or any books. Roberta has gone over to read to her.
Things are not going well at Lynch castle.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
