Mixed visit with Mum today. Dozing at the breakfast table again but did eventually give me a sleepy smile. She finished her 2nd coffee and I made one for me and I talked to her and gradually she woke up. I am wondering if this ‘dozing’ is due to the new tablets. The hairdresser came to find us and we headed off down to the room she uses. Mum had refused a shower this morning so we needed to wash her hair. The new plan of action worked and she was fine having her hair washed. However it was strange when the hairdresser was blow drying her hair Mum kept saying it felt funny and didn’t feel right. However we could not work out what she thought was wrong. Suddenly she started crying and saying the hairdresser had cut it to short (hairdresser had not cut it at all). It was all very strange. She did settle again and the hairdresser finished her hair. Mum then complained it was too long. Then it was really strange - Mum started to walk to the door with her stick in her left hand and me holding her right arm when suddenly her left hand and forearm started shaking uncontrollably. A few minutes later it stopped. This had happened earlier in the week but I thought it was a one off.
Anyway I took Mum back upstairs and settled her into the lounge with a cup of tea. She said she was cold and I went to find her a warmer cardigan and she popped it on, then a few minutes later her teeth started chattering and her eyes went a bit glazed. Again a few minutes and it all stopped. Both Carers present were agency so I thought I would go and talk to the nurse as my time was up.
I told the nurse what had happened and she said none of the Carers had mentioned it or noted it previously but she would keep an eye out for it. She did mention that the day before the Carers had been unable to get Mum out of bed in the morning. It was not until the nurse went up at 1pm that they could coax her to get up. I wonder if Mum is moving into a new stage.
