Faxed the nursing home this morning to remind them that we were picking up Pop at 4:00. Told them that we needed his discharge papers, meds and someone to inventory his belongings and that were going to take him home for the night and then to the VA in the morning.
Barb and I both got there at exactly 4:00, they had Pop's discharge papers ready. Went in to see him and he was laying on the bed and there was a lady sitting in his rocker. She told us that she was his mother-in-law and was visiting him. He said no you are my daughter-in-law's mother. Then he said right Barbara? When she told him we didn't know her then he said, oh I guess we aren't related. M'am what is your name? She said Fern.
We did the inventory, got Pop packed up and Fern even helped us though we told her we were doing fine. She assisted me in taking Pop's clothes off of hangers while Barb did the inventory checklist. We are short a few clothing pieces, so they are supposed to call when they find them.
After we left the nursing home Barb got a call from the VA and they were frantic. Said that the nursing home had called and told them CP was on his way. They said that they didn't do evening admissions. Barb told them that we knew and that we were told that CP was to be there at 9:00 tomorrow. Can't believe this place was recommended to us by people we know. So glad to get Pop out of there.
We ate dinner, got Pop showered and shaved, got all his clothes washed and dried and then Pop was worn out. I noticed tonight how much more frail he is than he was in February when he first moved in with us. I had to stay in the bathroom with him the whole time he was in the shower, he is just too unsteady on his feet.
