Last Saturday (March 21) was a rather worrisome start to the week. We found Fay lying in bed, rather disheveled, in a poor mood. We got an aid to get her dressed and into her wheelchair and took her to the sun room (see "Krabby's" post with a picture of the sun room). By the time we left Fay was in a pretty good mood.
On Monday, the LPN called me to say that Fay was being abusive to the staff and her room mate (a sweet 94 year old woman who is hard of hearing; it's hard to see how Rebecca could bother anyone, but that's another story). I went to the JCNH on Tuesday and Fay was indeed acting very strange, complaining loudly about people she was interacting with. The LPN had scheduled a psych evaluation for Friday to see if there was anything going on with the attitude shift.
By Friday, however, Fay was back to her old self. The psych eval was post-poned. When Margie and I visited on Saturday (March 28) we found Fay talking to Rebecca. We went to the ice cream social (note to self: a smaller portion will probable not send the blood sugar through the roof), looked at some photo albums and had a grand old time. Fay remembered lots of people in the pictures whom she hadn't seen in quite a while. "That's Margie's mother" was an unexpected comment when looking at Wendy's photo album.
We hope the early part of the week was just part of the transition process. Right now, Fay's OK.
