my wife's torment and the love we share!
My appointment
Published on September 13, 2006 By mygabie In Misc
Hello again,

I had to get ready extra early this morning! I have an appointment with the social worker at 10:00 am., regarding possibly transferring Gabriella to another facility. She keeps crying that she wants to go to another nursing home and quite frankly, I can not handle
seeing her in this state day in and day out. Last week, when I brought this up to the care team, at a meeting, they told me simply, "that they didn't think another nursing home would take her, mainly because of her mentle state, as well as her problamatic behavour."

Well the care team decided, that I should see the social worker for a one on one meeting
to discuss further, whether the option of moving my wife was the best plan or whether we could come up with something better.
Well as I arrived at the home I was quickly ushered into the board room where I waited on the social worker to arrive.

The social worker didn’t keep me waiting too long but nevertheless it, felt like a very long time.To get right to the point though she did not think it was a good idea at all, simply because of the above mentioned problems and I tended to agree with her.

My loving wife has been in this nursing home for about seven years now and she still don’t trust the staff she thinks they are giving her poison meds and that her bi weekly injection is what she calls a “death needle”.

It is sure taking it’s toll on me but what really scares me, is I am afraid, that I won’t be able to hang much longer, to take care of her.

She needs me as much as I need her and my altimate prayer is that my heavenly Father
takes me one minute after my adorable wife eternally closes her eyes.

My mother and father have been gone from this earth sometime now and your current crisis brought back so much of that to my heart. I will spend a little time today praying for you both. May His tender mercies surround you and your beloved.
