Putting the Fun in Dysfunctional

Well, After a week or so in the hospital Opa is finally home! :) He did great in the hospital, he was up and walking, very alert and chatty! It was so good to see his improvement throughout those days. However, the ACE team told Oma that she is endangering his life by treating him like a child. (She won't let him do anything, not even feed himself), and that she needs to learn to respect him. Oma didn't take this too well, But I'm glad that she was told by those people. She complains and whines about his Alzheimer's but does nothing to help him and his mind.

Since Opa is home it is arranged that he will have home care in the morning and evening, go to fitness class mon, wed & fri. And He will have 2 hours with a respite worker on Thursdays. This will be GREAT for Opa, providing Oma doesn't try to block it. In one breath she says she can take care of him with help, and in the other doesn't want him home, or says she can do it with no help. It's frustrating to say the least.

The family is glad he is home, hopefully he'll be able to stay healthy and do the things he needs to do.

Now I have developed some health issues. This past Sunday at work I got very dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out. It continued on throughout the next couple of days and Tuesday I went to the doctors office. He told me I have low blood pressure and sent me to get some blood work done. I'm still VERY dizzy, I hope that today the blood tests will come back and show SOMETHING to give an explanation as to why I'm so dang dizzy! I'm tired of it and it needs to stop before I get hurt. If the tests show nothing I will be going back to the doctors to find an answer.
