One of the more frustrating things about getting older is
our inability to recover as quickly from falls. Often times this leads to being in a rehab facility, which
can then lead to a long stay, even not getting out. Add Alzheimer’s to the symptoms and it
can change everything. I watched my
grandma go from just needing to recover from hip surgery to getting alz while
in a facility. She never got
out. Deteriorated so quickly.
Last
night, Mrs. D fell. She is in too
much pain for her family to help her at home. Can’t get up on her own and is having so much pain just to
try to get to the bathroom. So,
they are taking her back to the hospital, and most likely will have to put her
in a care facility. Although no
one wants to say it, she probably won’t get out. She is already so advanced. She doesn’t like being alone either. And when she was alone before, she
would get up in the middle of the night and wander. Now what? This
is the part I don’t like, and will admit is not fair…I know, life isn’t fair,
but this? This is just…no fair.
