It has been since Nov. 2007 since my mother has stayed overnight in her apartment at the retirement residence... by herself! It is really an amazing feat which is really hard to put into words in this post. If you read my post about aging parent issues... you have some of the background that makes this night amazing! I just called my mother and she seemed to be fine and has our phone numbers to call and has emergency alert devices in the apartment. The retirement place is really new and nice and secure.. so she is safe there and has many friends living there also. She will be fine...
This whole ordeal has been really tuff on our mother, most of all as she is fully aware that she just can't remember so many things. You and I do have moments where we forget what day it is... but we then remember soof afterwards.... she may not until she looks at the calendar or asks someone. It has to be a scary place to be.
