[quote=Anonymous]Mon Called her primary care to get them to fax an order for UTI screen that assisted living facility will run. Then called assisted living to remind them. Tue Drove over to AL and once again tried to show her how to use Alexa and bring her another pair of reading glasses (she lost instructions to alexa, which is hit the blue button and "lost" her glasses--I found 4 pairs stashed away). Brought her some new underwear and a couple sweaters. Did her laundry while I was there finding things. Brought her a retractable lanyard for her key and panic button, because theone she had for her wrist broke. Wed: delivered some groceries to her; checked in with staff. Brought her down to meal. At home, dealt with her medical bills and assisted living faciiliy charge changes. found her missing hearing aid and plugged them in to recharge. Discovered she had exchanged rollerators with another elderly resident so had to track them down and exchange. Thursday--who knows what tomorrow brings? Friday--going to have a status meeting with her assisted living because she may be moving to memory care sooner rather than later. After that, I am taking her to optometrist because she says her glasses dont work. even though they are new. Weekend: take her out somewhere for a meal or activity. Every day: fielded 3-5 calls from her. This is an easy week, no medical crises or doctors appointments. I work full time and have kids with evening activities so its...a lot. [/quote]
