Mum had a head scan now we have the results. It's the same thing to what happened to my dad, I feel sick going through this twice. I am dreading going I really am. At the moment she's kind of OK but can't handle any medication, it's just too much for her so the GP is giving her pain relief patches for her osteoarthritis, even that's a big deal about if it comes off, when does another one go one etc etc. So I suppose anything like Aricept is out of the question.
She really needs help in her house she can no longer cook a meal, forgotten how to use the oven so she just uses the microwave now. She loses track of what day it is and never goes out as 'she's not up to it' she's extremely frail, such a worry. I am also sure she's forgetting to eat, and that's why she weight so very little (just under 6 stone).
She has a mentor type worker who she likes, they referred her to a sitting service, which she agreed to then when they made the appointment and I told her she went mad saying she isn't up to seeing anybody so i had to cancel, she is so difficult.
It's so hard isn't it having your own family then this to deal with and trying to hold a job down, I've never felt so pulled in so many directions!
