I told mom that she was going to New Vista tomorrow.
She kept asking what time people were going to come.
I told her that the breakfast lady always came at 8:00 a.m.
She told me that was too early.
I said another lady would come and help her get ready to go at 9:15 and take her downstairs to wait at 9:30. The New Vista van would pick her up at 9:45.
She kept asking me over and over.
I told her that she didn't have to remember anything because someone would come and help her.
I told her she had nothing to worry about.
I made her do a lot of exercise to shift her attention.
She wondered why she had to go to New Vista.
I explained that she had friends there and they did fun things.
I said that if she didn't go, her friends would miss her.
We picked out her clothes for tomorrow. She told me several times that she had no clothes. Each time I took her to bedroom and showed her the outfit that I had picked out for her.

Hair
Friday, August 28, 2015
Mom was upset about the way the support worker had done her hair on Wednesday.
She had feathered it on the sides.
I washed mom's hair and blew it dry into a bob the way she liked.

I told mom that someone was going to give her a bath and wash her hair tonight.
Mom was still upset about the person who had done her hair on Wednesday.
I told her that it was okay because someone else was going to do her hair.

Spider
Monday, August 31, 2015
We were in the stairwell and I saw a huge spider on the wall just above the steps. It must have been 2 inches including the legs. Yikes! I sidled up the stairs and motioned mom to follow. She hesitated. Then she told me that she was going to kill the spider. She raised her foot as if to step on it. I told her to hurry and come. She kept saying that she could stomp on it. By the time we got up to the 3rd floor, she had forgotten about it.

Mom won't come to my house
Saturday, August 29, 2015
Mom won't come to my house.
She says she feels sick.
She seems fine to me.
Anyways it was just as well.
The transit system was a mess.
Went to visit my uncle this afternoon and had planned to take mom with me.
Bus was packed and on the way back my cousin had to give me a ride because the buses were full.
After dinner mom still wouldn't come home with me.
I left later than usual because I had to give her her medication.
The buses were still not running on time. Mom would have had a fit if she had been waiting with me.

After she woke up she was good to go.

Met with the new case manager. She said that mom met the criteria to go to residential care. They will place her in the first appropriate bed. This could be two weeks from now or six months from now. We have to decide within 24 hours and mom has to move in within 48 hours. Stress.
