Humpday Happenings

My grandmother just recently got put into an old folks home because the constant care she needed was too much for our family to keep up with on a hour by hour basis , So we figured the best way for her to get the care she needs and for her safety that she would go into a home . Now it's a very nice place with a very nice staff and all but this is the 1st time I ever experienced anything like this .

I had off last night and decided to go and pay her a visit by myself . When you walk in and listen to the sounds in the hall , The comedy value in this place is through the roof but then you get kinda sad because some of these people really have no idea what they are talking about . One lady was sitting in a wheelchair at the front door staring out and when I walked in she asked me " Is your father going to sell my dog because it went poop on the rug ? " . I just told her no he wasnt because I knew dementia was setting in and figured just play along and everything would be ok .

My grandmother also has a slight case of dementia and thought she ran away from home and took the bus to this "hotel" and now she wants to go home . she made me call my mother (her daughter) and tell her we were at the mall and I ran into my grandmother and she wants my mom to come pick her up .

It made me kinda sad that my grandmother was falling apart so quickly and I will be back to visit her at least twice a week but like I said this place is a comedians dream

Ok , Here we go ....
