caregiver story from today:
I was waiting for DH to finish up with his doc appointment and decided to text my Gal Pal whos Mom is Gal Pals with my Mom in the same Senior Living Community (we recommended her there). We call them "The Two Moms"; we're the "Two Daughters"
My Gal Pal had texted to me the other day that her Mom was a bit "cold like". When I inquired as to how her Mom was feeling today, I got "she tested positive to covid"
WHAT?!
She asked how my Mom was doing and I had to honest and said I need to check in with her!
Mom had no idea that her Gal Pal was positive and they had just had dinner together on Sunday!
I called to the community's office to inquire about what was the haps ... "I can't talk about other residents ... blah blah blah ... but what can I do for you?" (in a extremely condescending tone, I don't care for this gal btw!)
UMMMM!
Could you arrange for a covid test for my Mom? I understand that the Community is in lockdown and there can be no visitors.
"No, that's not the case. (that's what Mom said ). She has to call us with symptoms and then we'll take care of it."
"But she won't do that because she's deathly afraid that we'll put her in the hospital again!"
"So what do you want then?"
"Nothing! I'll deal with this, thank you, good bye!"
And I hung up abruptly! (I'm never rude like that)
I called Mom back and she REFUSED to be tested, "Leave me alone! I'm FINE!"
OKAY THEN!!!!
I said that I would not be around until her quarantine would be up ... I do not want to get sick AGAIN!
"I'll see ya in 14 days then, good bye!"
*side note: her birthday is next Saturday ... she may be on her own! God knows that my younger Sister won't be around!
