I visited last weekend, my sister visited this weekend - and the care home have phoned to confirm what we really already knew.
Mum has āforgottenā how to walk and eat. They are finding a wheelchair for her and will assist her to eat, but it appears we really are on to final stage now. We knew it was coming, but it has hit me suddenly - she is going to die, and it maybe wonāt be too long now.
I just donāt know what to do - if we visit Mum there is absolutely nothing of her left due to the Rispiradone she is on. She cannot have any conversation, watch TV, anything.
The care home have advised she may lose weight as her body āforgetsā how to digest food. From online searches it seems she may eventually get a respiratory infection or similar which will signal the end.
It sounds horrible but for Mumās sake we would rather than was sooner rather than later, she has absolutely no life any more. She is flat and disengaged this week because she cannot even make a decision whether she would like to visit the garden centre or notā¦.
