Latest message from Robbie Hatley

Robbie Hatley replied to me on Facebook on a post: "She was still in Seal Beach Rehab as of last Thursday, but I'm not sure as to her current whereabouts, as some friends were planning on transporting her back to her home at Westminster Villa, providing that Seal Beach Rehab would be willing to release her. I'll try to get ahold of Westminster Villa tomorrow and see what the latest news is." So, the way it sounds, the Rehab has been unwilling to release Patsie, so she has been stuck there, but Robbie does not know for sure. It has been six days since he knew for sure. This response was to me asking on May 27 about her. I know Patsie had one good friend who would take her shopping and such, Nelda, I think it was. Maybe we will hear more soon.

Isn't it pathetic the way these places treat our cherished aged? They're not human to them, they're a monthly payment from the insurance. I hope Patsie gets back home -- and to us -- soon!!

I do not think Medicare would continue to pay for her stay if she did not need the help. She has a damaged shoulder that does not work right, a leg brace due to a tendon that was not well treated when she took a fall years ago, then her diabetes. The Retirement Villa is not a medical facility, so it may be that they feel she will not get the care she needs if she goes back. I do not know for sure. I know the rehab refused to keep my dad when he fell, had pneumonia, developed sepsis, etc. I know at one point Robbie said it was a glitch in some paperwork.

I was thinking about her today. Is it weird he doesn't know for sure what is going on?

@Courtlynn You never can tell, but she is ninety one. He could be sixty or older easily.

I know that he can only get around by bus or on his bicycle. I think he does not have internet at his home. He does have a full time job, I think. In my mind, he is a youngster, but if the truth is told he is likely closer to my age. Maybe losing it a little himself.

It does not surprise me that she is still in rehab. Many of my clients threaten to sign themselves out when they are in rehab for an extended period of time. However, it isn't the wisest choice to make. Even though they don't like to be there, it may be best for them to be in a facility that can provide them with the care they need. I hope that she will be able to get back home soon. I am sure she misses being there. Too bad she can't access a computer where she is. Sometimes facilities have one for their patients.

Yes, I think it would be therapeutic for her to be able to be here. I see you understand a lot of what she may find herself up against.

I have been wondering about her but wasn't aware of what was going on. I'm a little concerned that her son doesn't know exactly where she is? Can you tell me what happened to her?

She fell, broke her wrist, at the hospital it was discovered she had pneumonia. I am sure it made her very weak and a fall risk, so she went from the hospital once she was stabilized, to a rehab.Like a nursing home. I do not think Robbie checks on her as much as he should, but I am not there, nor in his shoes. We all friend him on facebook and ask him from time to time. He usually replies to only one of us at a time.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I know that she misses being here. I hope that Westminster Villa has saved her mail. I put her mailing address on my profile and suggested people send her a card. It was in March when she broke her wrist.

@GardenGerty I hope she is doing better and can go back to her retirement community. It's sad that they couldn't take her back as I am sure most of her money goes to it as is. I hope we will hear form her soon. Rehab facilities are better at taking care of our aging loved ones, but I still don't trust them 100 percent.

I think that we could know more if we could contact Nelda directly, her son does not seem to know a lot about his mom.

@LadyDuck He does not have internet at home and relies on wi fi spots and his phone as I understand that.

I never knew contact information for her friend. One friend I did know who would visit her has moved to Tennessee and so cannot go check about her anymore.

I'm glad you got an update from him. Though, I don't see how her son wouldn't know what's going on with her.. unless he doesn't want to know.. which would suck of course. but unfortunately, I've felt that in the way she's written about him supposed to visit her and then not showing up.. many times. . Hopefully she'll be back with us soon.

He has to take the bus or ride his bike everywhere he goes and he works full time, so it is hard to judge. Also I am not sure how close he lives.

@GardenGerty maybe, but still. Most make time for their kids / parents when they care. And half the time he wouldnt even call or email her that he wasnt going to see her. Its just sad.

Thanks for posting this update (even though it's not very up-to-date!). It's nice to know that Patsie is still with us, even though she has many health problems - a broken wrist and pneumonia are only two of them, I believe. My thoughts are often with her and I hope that she'll be able to return to Westminster Villas (and myLot) soon.

@BarBaraPrz No, in fact she is worried about her computer still being at Westminster. She says it is a $700 computer. You will read more in my other discussion.

I had wondered what happened to her - I didn't realize she was away from the Villa. Oh my goodness she must be going batty if she is just stuck there! Can't her son find out with just a phone call?

I hope she will get well soon because it is much nicer if one is just in a retirement house with friends than in a hospital for treatment.
