[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 645223, member: 3419"] In regard to Cousin P, two staff members have approached me in the hall about her lack of bathing, etc. P will fight them tooth and nail. She just refuses. They cannot force her. In fact, when I signed the paperwork, there was a section that said they do not use restraints. It's a Catholic Medicaid facility. Not sure if that explains anything. Except that the "regular" hospital in Minn that took my dad in for a very short time two yrs ago used restraints on him. He was in the next-to-last stages of dementia and extremely violent. Anyway, she's very, very stubborn, a difficult child in her own right. She's got histrionic personality disorder, among other things, and works herself into a tizzy. There just isn't enough Ativan in the world, for her or for me. :) Although I prefer wine. I'm thinking I'm bringing in my swimsuit next week and dragging her into the shower with me. I'll play "Singing in the rain" while I lock the bathroom door. [/QUOTE]
