My MIL wakes up in the middle of the night saying she hears someone or something banging on her bedroom wall.
然后她说,她看到前门打开了约4英寸。因此,她打电话给我,以确保我不在外面。
I look outside, advise her it must have been deer running by or the cats were just running around the house playing... but everything is okay.
我和她一起喝苏打水并协助她回到床上。
这种情况更频繁...有什么建议吗?
From a previous post: "What bothers me the most about caregiving are cleaning up after animals and no time to care for me.
我们住在该国,因此地板很难保持清洁……因此,每天都必须进行清扫和擦拭。但是我最终整天都在擦和捡狗。当我去做一些事情并踏上小便或大便时,我讨厌它。
We have pet pads, but it doesn't matter.
They just go where they want.
I dislike changing and washing all of mom's bedding frequently because the dogs had an "accident". (Fortunately, I have a waterproof mattress protector for her new mattress, otherwise it would be ruined already.) I also keep 2 thick mattress pads on her bed at all times.
I change the bedding once a week no matter what anyway, but getting up at 2:30 in the am to strip and make a bed because of animals, does get pretty hard.
因此,第二天,我花了整整一天的时间洗她的超大床罩,床垫,床单,枕头等 - 如果我落后,因为我必须把她带到Dr.,需要几天的时间才能赶上。
I know her dogs mean a lot to her but
I just found a good paying work from home job. Training starts next month. There is set schedule though, which will be very hard to follow, while caring for mom... But I need to work...the cost of living has increased so much its necessary. -- I just won't have time to clean up after them anymore."
由于她的狗,您还在半夜起床吗?新工作的培训如何?
您是否设置了任何界限?
这篇文章是关于我晚上听到的。
I do wish to make one point clear... I don't view my MIL as H's mother. Married 35+ years, she is OUR mother. I will care for her for her with all my heart.
如果H逝世之前发生任何事情,我将继续照顾她。
What she sometimes hears is a pounding sound on her walls. It is not an every night occurrence but does happen.
这些听起来很真实her. I try to alleviate her fear by telling her things are alright, that it is probably just an animal. (We live in the country, bears, deer, opposums, foxes, owls, eagles, cats, etc are common.) This helps her to relax and go back to sleep.
我明天与她的医生联系。我希望他能以积极的方式提供帮助。
我只是没有意识到这是痴呆症或阿尔茨海默氏症的症状。
或者,也许在她旁边地板上的床垫上过夜。可能有实际的声音。现在,我们已经两次在天花板空间里有老鼠,包括4周前回到爱丽丝泉时。他们发出了很多声音。通过天花板舱口诱饵在几个晚上整理了它。
Possum can do the same in Australia, it’s like they’re having a noisy party. Possums are protected so you have to search for the gap in the eaves where they get in and block it off.
