Yes, I’d say looking for that blanket tonight should be at the top of the priority list. As cold as it is at the office, you’ll need it. And that walk once an hour will probably be needed too.
The shape your mom’s in these days, space heaters sure could be dangerous. Is there an electric blanket you can use to help keep her warm while you’re at work? Or will you just put extra blankets on the bed?
I need to dig around in Aunt Clara’s side of the house to find a good, warm blanket and take it to the nursing home tomorrow or Tuesday. The thermostat in her room was out again today, as it was last Sunday when I visited her. Her room is next to the door and it gets cold with people going in and out. I told the care giver today that the thermostat should be replaced since the current one has gone out twice in a week but I doubt they’ll do it.
The blankets Clara has now are fine when the heat works, and are ok for now, but it’ll be colder next weekend.
More blankets. The thermostat is ALWAYS set at 76...too hot for me, but she complains she’s cold. I got her an electric throw blanket, but as per usual she won’t use it. She can stay comfy in her bed and sleep. If she really is freezing my sister will let me know. I’ll turn on a space heater when I get up and it will take the chill off. Then I’ll turn it off when I leave for work.
Last year when the boiler went out she chose to use her heating pad. Whatever works for her.
Hope they get the thermostat fixed at Aunt Clara’s place.
