Fears and anxieties

Almost the first thing Edna did when I went to see her today was start crying. She was so afraid I was going to abandon her. She said she had seen tow other patients abandoned by their families today. I am assuming that is delusion fueled by her fear.

After we sorted that we then had a bit of a dispute about her ownership of her keys. Her key is now in the key safe - but I have re-assured her she can get a duplicate cut and that Fosters won't mind.

Then a bit later I had to re-assure that Fosters hasn't changed, tnat he rflat is still there, and still her's.

An interesting delusion is that she said she had been told a lot of the ladies were moving out of Fosters. The implication was that there was something wrong with Fosters. But the people she thought had left had all gone to situations where tney had more regular care. I suspect that this is fueled by a deep down realisation that she may need more care than a care package can provide. Maybe she also realises that a care home would give her more company than she will get at Fosters.

I am so nervous about tommorrow. I just hope everything goes smoothly and that she DOES get home. But I am also nervous about what will happen when she is home and how many miles I am going to drive.

Well the aiting is nearly over. As I said to Edna by the end of next week we should have a good idea about how it is all going to work
