I've had a message left on our answering machine from the equipment company saying they'd been asked to get some items for us and could I let them know when they could bring them.
I'm back in a spin again. I've got to move mum's bed out and possibly the dining table too and then they'll bring this bed and the hoist and we'll have to sit here looking at them unable to do anything until we get trained by the Occupational Therapist.
I know the sight of it if it is in front of her, will unsettle my mum. She has dementia and likes things to remain either unchanged or looking homely.
I know I need something to help me lift mum. I wonder if I can move it out of sight in between using it. If she feels nervous on it then the sight of it is going to feel threatening.
I'm coming up with negative thoughts I know. I know it's wrong to do that but I know nobody else will be thinking of her now and just determined to get us to accept what they want us to have.
I'd like to feel I have some control as feeling out of control stresses me out a lot.
Added to the fact that I don't think we've been listened to and are having to accept something I doubt we will ever use... the bed.
I'd like to just get her on and off the recliner. Are the beds huge things ?
I wish I could see one to know if they are the same as a single bed.
Maybe I'm just panicking here and writing so much because I'm so stressed out.
