The Longest Stroke-Dementia Road To Somewhere Journal

November 20, 2018, All dressed and no place to go!!! Heartbreaker!!

There are times in life that puts one on the boundaries of wondering where does love, honor, loyalty and faith begins or ends or not!!!

November 20, 2018,Tuesday, four days out and we are the end of our ropes for release from the hospital to the rehab center in Northridge or Thousand Oaks. At this point it doesn’t matter, we just need to exit this place. Truly felt like a prisoner but not in a bad way but a freedom gone way. The night before mother was dressed and so tired from fighting, she chose to sleep in her clothes and at this point it was fine by me. I have been wearing the same clothes for four days and they felt glued to my body. I have got to get her out of here and this hopefully is the promised day. Mother is already to go!

With much anticipation, I awoke that morning that somehow God would work a much need miracle for mother and I. First stop to nurse’s station before mother awoke to inquire time of departure. Advised nothing on the computer yet and doctors must come before release papers are signed. In addition to this, I think it had been decided the day before that I chose the Northridge Acute Rehabilitation Center in Northridge, ca. Was advised one the best and most intense for stroke patients. The personnel that handles the transfer to the rehab center had not arrived at this desk for me to inquire for the time of departure and release form completion.
