Home at last

Edna is finally home - and I am nervous. There is so much that can go wrong - and if she pan ics it will be me she rings. She's already rung me once to ask where I had put the money. She though I had goiven to her. i hadn't I put it in her purse in the drawer - where she has kept her money for the last .........I don't know HOW many years.

She seemed almost desolate when I fnally left her (sbout 2 hours ago!) and I am sure she was thinking about being ll on her own and feeling lonely. I thin k once she gets used to the carers coming in it will be better. But I am worriedf she will panic. And if she does guess who she will ring.

This is going to be the real test of how bad her dementia really is. Will she lose her medicines? Will she let the carers do their jobs ? Will she remember when the carers are coming in? Will she panic becasue she thinks they should have come becasue she is confused about the time of day.

I will drive myself bananas is they think about everything. I can't do anything except rerspond to situations as they arise. I just have to hope they don't arise too often
