Cabin Fever

So... we had another episode with Ma. She apparently had an appointment today at 9 for an interview with Lokenani Hale, an housing unit for the elderly. Nobody wanted to take her because all we could see it ending up in another cycle like it did with their previous apartment. Tenants here need to be independent, and we all knew that they can't be. After she found out I wouldn't take her, she decided to "walk" to Wailuku. Here we go again.
I called hubby and my BIL to let them know what she was planning and she even told someone that she would "hitchhike."

I called the social worker, the doctor, nobody was there. I finally ended up calling 911 again because I did not know what to do. I did not want my MIL walking out there because she is not stable. The last time she did that (1 week ago), she collapsed on the corner of the highway.  

After a very lengthy ordeal with the medics, the police and talking to her Dr. on the phone, the Dr. suggested, "Why not let her move on a trial basis, but without my FIL." So, we mentioned that to Ma & Dad and she wants Dad with her. I couldn't see the logic in it, so I started to protest. But then DH had a great idea. Why not let them both move in, on a trial basis, and I know sooner or later she won't want him around, and then we'll just move him out. That seems to be the only plan we have now besides getting the paperwork ready for a nursing home for her. Maybe by the time she gets tired of this place, she will be able to get placed in the nursing home. So, Thursday morning she has an appointment. Stay tuned.
