[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476938, member: 12886"] Well, the social worker just called and said that Q is really getting agitated, saying he is going to hurt me, being aggressive throwing things etc... I told them that by saying he was going to maybe go home tomorrow they were going to really get him in a state of uncertainty and it would not be pretty. Now how long do they continue this. I wonder if they should just say, forget it he stays till tomorrow. I asked that they not push this too much if he is escalating which he has not done for a week. It just shows how much anxiety triggers him. Doctor said it is 50/50 if he can come home. I told him the plan yesterday and nurses this morning said he was good with everything. Until this. Now he has been in the time out room twice. and am I going to be able to drive him home??? I asked about discharge procedures and they sound like there would be a lot of talking in front of him, signing things, medication explinations, etc... well I asked if i could come and do all that with his not knowing anything, then we just pack him and go. I asked the doctor to call, social worker said she will tell him. I reminded her that I asked three times last weekend and nothing...so????? The other irritant is that this social worker and a couple of nurses are so young and dont really seem to get the big picture. I know they are sweet and trying, but this girl sounds so condescending and why did she call me to tell me he was so upset if there was no options but to just wait... she said she really called just to see if I had appointments made. I was like..huh??? I already had this talk last night. Probably nothing to do with her, just that powerless feeling again. [/QUOTE]
