Well, we got through Kayla and then Peaches (Gwen) showed up. Fireworks turned to bazooka rockets........this is one tough bird, man......had to turn off the baby monitor so that Gwen couldn't hear what she was saying....tough, tough words being spoken.
Anyway, I'm not so good at all of the details. We're going to have to keep our eye on the Gwen thing......not sure she's the right one, but also don't know how to address breaking someone else in. We'll need a local to run ramshod (is that the word?) if we have to go another route. Can some of you other folks have some conversations with Mom about Gwen? Need more data here....maybe that's giving me the answer I don't want to....we need to find someone else. An uncomfortable situation all around.
The week is going good. Mom has had visits from Morris everyday, Tony and Roy Brock twice. Everyone bringing her chocolates.
Had lunch with Morris at Westminster. He seems lonely. The place is very nice and has everything a person could want. I asked him to tell me what he didn't like about it....that there had to be something: his answer was: B-O-R-I-N-G.....
Took Mom to the eye doctor because her eye was red and weepy. Pushed date for next appointment back to July 27 at 2:15pm, a Friday. If no one else can do it, can we ask Maggie to take her? I don't see why not.
All perscriptions are filled.
I think that Mom could be in a place like that if we could get her out of the house.....not with Morris though. In a separate apartment because she would still need her caregivers.

This is the greatest. I love this blog....
I'll send out an email with link to blog to remind others to use it for getting info ...
I am sorry to hear that things are not getting better with Gwen as my take on her is likable,capable,competent ... it may be that over time tension will reduce, but, as you've seen, Helen's behavior makes this look like wishful thinking .... I had several long conversations with Helen about how helpers are the only way we can help her stay in her home ... I agree with you that repeated re-enforcement of this by each of the kids is needed ... gotta get it established that this is how it's going to be ... thanks for all your help.
I'm just trying this out to try it out. I guess this isn't the same as "authoring" something and might still have to figure that out....
