Nana heads home!

Well after a fraught 3 weeks Nana is now deemed well enough to head home back to living by herself with support! That is the bit she doesn't like but the other options were really Frightening for her.
She has been diagnosed with dementia and that living independently will be from now on a month by month assessment!
Her legs are clearing up but they need to be dressed so a district nurse will head to her house each day!
She has to have her home help shower her once a week and that will be frustrating for her and no more adventures out to town!
So we have a very grumpy Mum/MIL/ Nana.
What has been so interesting for us is how nice everyone thinks she is and how compliant! However they pushed her too hard yesterday with new rules and she vented it was so good for her to do that and now we are all on the same page!
But she is excited about heading home.
Now it is a wait and see game which may be a frustrating time a head for us!
Hugs Ruth
