phew

The little angel is gone.

We sat in a meeting with his psychiatrist today and he didn't even open the report I had spent hours writing.

Tell me all about being a professional then.

Suprisingly enough they had nowhere for him to go from here. 

He went back to his mums house, but she was firm, he cannot stay there.

Tonight he went off to a unit in England.

I hope it all works out for him.

We went off to see the students mum who is of course in hospital.

She is not at all well but, thank goodness better than she has been.

She is clearly losing it a bit, she has clean forgotten that she can't walk very far, soon after we got there she set off for the loo.

Whilst she was there she clean forgot she needs a zimmer frame, she walked back without it.

I told the nurse not to put on any country dancing music as she might unforget she has given that up too.

Funny old thing being a bit gaga.

For us the key issue was her hydration, she is a bit dehydrated, previously she has been  less coherent when she is short on fluids only to bounce back when she has drunk enough.

I think her centenary party is back on.

I love working with the elderly. They are just kids with more experience. The more cantankerous the better I love them.
Hope your MIL is soon well enough to be back home. Dehydration and urine infections can be the biggest culprits in confusion.
