She's so aggitated and confused, not urinating on her own, being treated for a UTI, but is refusing the Meds. I promised her, she would not leave her home but after falling 3x's I felt Hospice could get her back on track. She just keeps begging to come home. Anyone got expirence with terminal aggitation will she get better so she can come home???
The facility should be able to make sure she takes her meds... and with a UTI, her behaviors are normal....can you possible wait until you see how she is when she gets better... ??? Prayers for you.... just keep in mind, she may be where she NEEDS to be as opposed to where she WANTS to be....
I also agree with the others who say she may need to stay where she is. But I wouldn't make any firm decisions just yet.
What I want you to remember is that you are the adult here. Your mother is like a child, frightened and not thinking straight. You have to be strong and not be (too) influenced by her unhappiness. She probably wouldn't be a lot happier to be sick and anxious at home. She needs to get well first.
Could you maybe manage to spend a night with her to calm her? I know it may not be possible. You need to preserve your health and your job.
The agitation is treatable. Some of the medications may knock her out, but is that so bad while her body is trying to heal? Sleeping is the best medicine. Push the doctor to give her something.
Seeing my father's emotional pain was a lot worse than cleaning the poop off the floor. You have our understanding and prayers.
