Yesterday I took Mom out to get 2 of her prescriptions and pick up ice cream. When we got back home in the driveway she refused to get out of the car because she said it wasn't her house, she didn't live there, and wanted me to take her home. No amount of reasoning would change her mind. She has lived in the house for 20 years. I got a neighbor who lived across the street for 17 years to come and talk to her. She said she didn't know him and wasn't buying his story.
The attempts to get her to go into the house lasted for about 1 1/2 hours. I decided to take her to the ER. They got her out of the car and brought her in to get checked out. They diagnosed that she has a urinary tract infection. She was admitted to the hospital. The ER doctor said I did the right thing by bringing her in.
She was very mad at me for not taking her to the right house and taking her to the hospital. She got over it by the time I left the hospital at 11:30 last night. The hospital called this morning and said they were going to do an MRI.
