Going in to visit Mum I was greeted by the lovely Helen."Can we have a chat?" she said."Olwen has been much better but I have been keeping her in her room and she has been much more settled" I replied that I had already worked out that taking her out was not helping her. So it was good to have that guidance that even taking her to another sitting area was not advised.
I then went to see her in her room and was greeted with the statement "I have decided to go into the nursing home in Old Town Lane" (the street she had bought a flat in thirty years ago.) "Did I remember it?" Well I didn't. "I know quite a few people there and I think I will settle quite well"As Helen said "well we can be the nursing home in Old Town Lane!." Then there followed a conversation about how she could go to Bowers for her provisions"Yes" I said " Their nice flap jacks and Pork Pies!" Even I remember those. She did admit that Mr Bower would be getting on abit now! Then she remembered the butcher "Nice lamb chops and sausages!"
It was Tuesday and then we had a visit from Paul the chaplain. She did not remember meeting him before but asked if he was a resident here which he took in good part. "No but it sometimes feels like it! " he said but the next thing she said was " She was going to put her daughters name down to come in" so we had another laugh. I only hope this all continues! But I am sure no risperidone is also helping!
