I'm so worried about mum. She is completely not interested in food at all. She's barely eating now. The Care Home say she used to at least eat her porridge in the morning and they try to give her milky drinks but she has no interest whatsoever. They try sitting with her but she says her dad said she can't eat it because it's poisoned.
I sat with her during a mealtime (which is a nice social time at the home). The other ladies at the table were happily eating their meal and dessert and mum just say staring out of the window. I tried to get her to have a couple of mouthfuls but she says she feels sick and doesn't want it. She must be hungry. Or can hunger sensation cease?
She used to love her food, our favourite pastime was going out for meals. She won't even eat chocolate now which she adored.
She's starting to lose weight and she only weighed 8 stone to start with. She's 67 years old, I'm not ready to watch her decline like this.
They are getting the dieticians involved but I don't know what they can do if she won't put anything near her mouth?
