Hi everyone. I've got a question that has nothing to do with my sitch or MLC. It is about my mom. She is driving us all nuts.

She is now living with my sister in law because she just had to get out of the nursing home. Now.....she is talking about getting her own place, going to work and driving. She is on Morphine and about 6 or 7 different drugs. She can barely stand on her own.

She has also been expecting everyone to drop whatever they are doing to take her to the grocery store....walmart....post office....

She has also been (for lack of a better word), very pissy lately. Extremely angry, pissy and VERY impatient.

She knows she can't be by herself because she constantly falls, but is now insisting on getting an apartment. Since August she has been in the hospital, her place, Hospice, her place again, a nursing home and now my sister-in-law's. And now wants to move out of there after being there only a few weeks. It is like she can't be anywhere any length of time. She can't even go back to her place because we cleaned out her apartment in September at her request.

As I said, she is driving us nuts. Sometimes, she is so angry that I don't even like to be around her.

Has anyone here seen a loved one die and seen this kind of behavior? Anybody? I've read on the internet that sometimes a person will get restless or agitated, but that usually happens in the final few days. Mom has been acting this way for a few weeks now.
