I am truly at my wits end trying to understand yet another aspect of mum's behaviour in her care home. She has gone so downhill I can't keep up with the changes. Does anyone recognise this behaviour:
Mum can read a crossword when I put her glasses on her and sometimes we can do her favourite hobby again. When she wanders around, painfully with swollen legs and new hip on her walking frame, she can't seem to see what's around her, eg when she gets to an open door she calls 'help me how do I get through here' and isn't looking at where she is going, just feeling helpless but not using her eyes to look at the open door to pass through it. Same with turning left to dinner room she doesn't look where she is just says how do I get in. Anyone else know about this?
