Thank you ALL so much.
Just to let you know, my computer only occasionally allows me to come to this site! Sometimes I have no problem, other times the computer crashes before I can even get past the welcome screen.
Had a meeting with some of the staff yesterday. My concerns were addressed. I also have a call in to the supervisor in regards to the not-so-nice staff.
Not sure what to think about the "shanked" thing, I am pretty sure she overheard someone else say it once or twice, but I am not sure if these "voices" are in her head or her own thoughts or actually someone else talking. Her doctor told me yesterday that she did have both psychological and psychiatric testing, and he has changed her diagnosis to bipolar with psychotic features. She is not coming out for at least another week or so. They want to put her on a different unit, one that is more intense and individualized, but the downside is that she will have a new psychiatrist and therapist. Kinda on the fence about that.
My mind is spinning, having a hard time concentrating on else I want to say...sorry...just wanted to let everyone know I did see your responses and I really appreciate them. Bless you all.
XOXO
