Hi guys.....I have managed to get momz in the nursing home...TODAY...A FEW HOURS AGO it wasnt tough at all, God really made a miracle for me...she is ok with it for now. She thinks she will be there for only two weeks...she also thinks its a hospital.
She doesnt see why I she needed this, since she is just sitting alone in her room,she says she can do that at home..
And honestly guys....despite all of the sh$#@! I have gone through with her....I am so messed up, that I am ready to go get her!
Stupid I know. But she is all I have ever had, and I feel like maybe I am being selfish. Maybe I should stick it out , and try to take ccare of her until she doesnt know who I am.
Everybody is saying it will get worse, and I am doing whats right...but I dont feel that now.
Ihave no friends to call , the one I have is busy with work....and her life.
I am in tears...I am really messed up. I dont know what to do anymore.

Thank you arose4u, I didn't know that such a loop existed. I am just now learning the whole confusing Medicare mess. I appreciate your knowledge.

MY FRIENDS!!
I have been getting the legal stuff handled..power of attorney, living ill, etc. I have found a nursing home, gotten medical files to them...its coming close to being done.
Whats EVEN MORE MIRACULOUS IS : MOMZ IS BEING AGREEABLE TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My prayers are being answered!!
I have told her its a major health problem...well one she will accept( cuz she refuses to believe she has alzheimers!) like blood vessels working inncorrectly which can cause her a stroke..so she accepts this, and agrees MOST of the time ( she changes her mind or forgets and I have to remind her...man am i tired of explaining- just talking so much!!my mouth needs a vacation! I have nevr begged, explained, pleaded so much in my life!!) to go to the "HOSPITAL" FOR 2 WEEKS. I will handle the rest of the battle after I get her in there!

i HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL AND HOLDING UP, I NEVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR WITHOUT YOU ALL!!!

I usually feel like the "odd" one out as I'm a single guy, in his late 30's taking care of my 86 yo father with AZ. You've got double! Hugs for that.
