Okay, it's five a.m., here I am, sitting tired in the cold. Can't sleep because it's simply too cold and unfortunately, I have to watch the door. Guess what, I didn't really choose to stay up all night and play the watchman. But then the usual story happens: the police rings at 2 a.m. because they found an old, disoriented, crazy woman :(. Unaware, you open the door (first mistake), you admit that you are related to that woman (damn I'm stupid) and then you even drive as fast as you can to your grandma to take care of her (I'm so stupid), and you know, she doesn't even recognize you :(.
At least, the police had already done a good job and had calmed my grandma down (they even managed to get our names out of her). I really think the police should consider watching old people, rather than ask the relatives to do it. Or put them in a prison cell so they can't run away. Hey, they don't know where they are anyway. It would be a lot easier for everybody, and safer.
Well, I gave them our adress and phone number just in case they find her again. It would have been a lot easier if my grandma hadn't thrown away our adress and number, but you put a list there, you look away and it's gone. I have no idea how she can do it, but she can. However, she has a hidden depot of outdated data somewhere and she replaces the actual adresses all the time.
After the police had said goodbye, I spent a great deal of time convincing my grandma to go back to sleep, I helped her put her nightgown on, and put her in her bed. Then I took her keys, her clothes and her shoes. You can't run away with no shoes, right?
And in the morning, we will call my uncle. And he will agree to watch her for the next days or not. If not, we will try to bring her to an old people's home, and it won't be pretty, because my grandma will get furious. And then they will probably not gonna take her like that. So the only other choice will be the hospital. I know my mom doesn't want that, but we just can't handle my grandma anymore, I can't and won't do it anymore.
I think she just got up again and is talking to someone :(, I should look after her.
Hope your weekend was not even remotely similar to mine. See you :)
