A much easier visit today, She was in a much happier mood even though discharge plans seem to be on hold. She has been told (I think) that Fosters feel she needs a vERY comprehensive care package. And for once she didn't try to protest that she didn't need help.
She is still loosing things, and get confused VERY easily. We discussed ways she can help herself to remember things when she gets home.
She even said that she didn;t mind staying in hospital and hinted that she enjoys the company. i took the chance to tell the tale of how Mum finally realised that company would be a very good reason to leave her house and go into a care home. I even suggested that it was something Edna MIGHT need to consider if she had difficulty coping at Fosters, and she didn't jump down my throat.
If she stays like this for the moment I think we will cope. The Rivastigmine seems to be having an effect on her even thought she still has delusions and fantasies.
I have made it plain I will be seeing her regulalrly when she is back home, and although at first she said 'no don;t bother' when I reminded her I had retired so I COULD have time for her, she seemed glad . I think she wants company rather more than she says she does.
