I am not prepared

How do I say no to someone who is constantly asking to go home? My mom is in one of the best inpatient facilities in our state and she is constantly making excuses to come home. At this point in time most of the things she is saying are not actually true, they are manifestations in her mind which is part of the dementia and the delirium. I am constantly saying the same things over and over with why she needs to go stay where she is. She is a danger to herself if she comes home and she will never get better physically if she gets home. I have been saying this over and over and so has everyone else.

Once again I am flying blind here and I am hoping I am doing the best thing for her by sticking to my guns. So far she has had 3 days of physical therapy and this is the most movement she has in weeks.

I feel horrible being so tired and irritated by the constant calls and complaints and when she does complain and they do what she wants its another complaint its like dealing with a toddler. I am trying to figure out how to keep myself sane in this situation. I cant take time off from work so vacations and me days are not in the cards for a while. I am sorry if today’s post sounds like a complaint fest and I suppose it is. I just wish I had someone or something to tell me that what I am doing is correct and if not what is the correct course I should be one.

I hope everyone has a nice Sunday.
