My Mum had a series of small strokes during an operation in early 2017. She came out of the operation with delirium, and several months later we were told she had a mild cognitive impairment.
We haven't received much support, or care. She has chronic anxiety, apathy, and is often confused and disoriented. Her short term memory has deteriorated considerably and she struggles to find words. She suffers with incontinence and her balance / coordination are poor.
She is doing some more cognitive tests tomorrow and we suspect will be referred for a scan.
I am really hurting, and scared for the future. I am sad and wish that things were different. I just needed to put that down somewhere because I am trying so hard to be positive for everyone here.
