Mum had a stroke 7 weeks ago and I haven't really managed to get much information. It was a serious stroke but she initially made very good progress and I flew to be with her 2 weeks ago when she was sent home. Lets just say that experience was a little hellish and in a week I sold the house and car, packed everything up and moved her in with me. I am looking at putting her into a 4 stage complex near me but she is not ready in any sense for me to do this yet. The major issues are emotional, perceptial and continance. Mum has major problems with me leaving her even to go to the toilet and starts panicing that I have gone off and left her, she has tantrums and major horrible depressive episodes as well having a cathetar which she is really struggling with. Anyway we are in New Zealand and the support here seems pretty negligible so was hoping someone would have some experience to help me. I also have ds who has just turned 3, managing them both is really hard especially as mum insists on going everywhere with us but still struggles with mobility and has no confidence with her walker so I am trying to support her at the same time as managing ds. Anyway I know we are really lucky and that I should be grateful for having her at all but I am just struggling with it all a bit.
