Mom begins Adult daycare this week

Kamál (Perfection), 7 ‘Azamat (Grandeur), 168 BE – Monday, May 23, 2011 about 6:50 PM Pacific Time

The schedule for my mother to begin adult daycare is Wednesday, May 25. I do not think Mom is going to like going for the first few days, but once she gets used to it and it becomes a part of her routine, I think she will be all right. It will be good for her to get out of the house and interact with other people.

I am looking forward to see how she likes the experience. I am looking forward to having some time to go to the laundromat without having to worry about Mom. I would prefer to do the laundry at home, but I have to have the pipes behind the washer fixed and that will cost more money then we have right now.

I plan to schedule time at the laundromat on Thursday and Friday this week. I plan taking three baskets of laundry each day, I will be happy if I get one of those days to do laundry. It seems that I encounter some sort of difficulty when I schedule a specific time for any activity. In addition to the laundromat, I have to take my car into the shop because I think there is a problem with the thermostat. I need to do a couple of other items, but I have to do laundry on at least one day.

Still waiting for Adult Daycare

Istiqlál (Independence), 4 ‘Azamat (Grandeur), 168 BE – Friday, May 20, 2011 about 2:40 PM Pacific Time

I am still waiting to get Mom into adult daycare. The doctor has not gotten back to the daycare center, so they cannot take her until the doctor contacts them. Mom needs to go to the daycare because the staff has experience with Alzheimer’s patients. Mom needs to get out of the house and interact with other people.

When I take, Mom out she does not want to leave the house; however, once she gets out she enjoys the experience. Mom may not like going to the daycare center at first, but once she gets there and begins interacting with other people then she will enjoy going.

Since Mom got out of the hospital, she is in a better mood. Going to the daycare, she will have access to exercise and other things that will keep her active. Now that she has two hearing aids she can hear what is going on much better then she could before, so the daycare experience will be more enjoyable.

I would like to get her started next week; I know it takes a while to get this going. I am just not sure it should take this long. Maybe I am becoming impatient.
