She's fallen three times in two weeks. I also cannot for the life of me get her regulated. She just won't crap until I give her the correctol. Nothing else is working. So, I end up with a nightmare of s&*%T every three days. I cannot handle this any longer. I can see now that it is time for both of us to part ways....it's the safest thing to do. I just don't know how to get her out of here TODAY!!! It sounds so bad to want her out....but, I am ready.
My mother is in a NH and it has been good for her. She also had bowel problems, which a good diet, walking and seeing a doctor has helped.
At the rate you are going, your aunt will out live you. That is why mother (96) is in a NH. She outlived my sister, who was caring for her. She died suddenly, just days before turning 70.
Where does your aunt go, if you are no longer there? It seems like you need to make some long term plans.
You are doing a good job.
Know that we understand and do care how you are doing! and we all are having discussions that I am sure we had not thought possible before...
