My dad finally forgot the one thing I thought he would never forget.

Again, I apologize for not being able to respond to each and every person who takes time to chime in on my post. I read all the comments.

I recently had to move my dad to a smaller room in the same facility. From a 3 room apartment style to a nursing home/hospital type room.

He was not doing well moving around in the larger rooms. He did not do well moving for the first several days. He kept wandering back to his old room and disturbed the new tenant who he traded rooms with.

Then, I visited him and he told me he had been trying to call my mom for 2 days and she would not answer the phone.

My mom passed away in 2013. This broke my heart. I could not tell him she was gone. He had this sad look of helplessness in his eyes.

Maybe next week things will be easier.

  1. Hi no need to apologize, we appreciate whenever you have time to make a post. I can understand how this would break your heart and it would be the one thing you would hope he would not forget. I really hope next week and the weeks after that will be easier. There has been a lot of transition with the move, hopefully things will calm down a bit so that he can get back into a routine. Please keep us posted. Jill (Team Member)
