Two New situations
I have waited to see if things continued before I posted and they have. Now Jan has started walking throughout the house. Pacing for no reason, but just lapping the inside of the house. The dogs have figured out that she is not going anywhere, so they don't follow her anymore. She doesn't do it all the time, alot in the morning when she first gets up. In conjunction with this situation she now has a sleeping problem. She will go to bed about 9 and then she is up again about 11, and then we try to get her back to sleep and she commences to get up again and again. This past week is has been that we got up at 3:30 a.m. and she walked and we stayed up. I dowsed in my chair and she would walk and crawl back into the bed for a while then she is back up walking. I did get some prescription sleeping pills for her and last night she got up about 11 and she fell. Bruised her hip, but she was completely out of it because of the sleeping pill. I hope that this does not continue and that we can get some sleep. Of course, when the patient is up the nurse has to get up as well. I put a gate up across her door so that she can't get into the house from her bedroom without me knowing it. I am right across the hall from her and I hear her when she starts to get out of bed. I pray that this stops. It's hard.
