(and out shopping or just driving around town.) that helped. now she doesn't even know the old friends when/if she sees them and we basically just stay in her room /on her floor other than the weekly bible class and facility provided entertainment. <BR/><BR/>she never got *real* angry, but it took her several months to adjust. she never understood the *why* of it. now she doesn't even remember the other apartment.<BR/><BR/>i was able to spend several hours with her every day. i know that helped her transition. but it still wasn't easy or pleasant for her.<BR/><BR/>email me at r2bibby@gmail.com anytime you want, robyn.cornbread hellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044619147561532271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341493774541669520.post-84727693459615045422008-08-16T16:03:00.000-05:002008-08-16T16:03:00.000-05:00Is that really your doorbell?On a different note, ...Is that really your doorbell?<BR/><BR/>On a different note, how did you deal with getting your mom to the ALF?
