Hi everyone. I have been sitting thinking about my Mum all day. I just cannot think of any explanation for this but I know that someone here will. My Mum is in a CH with Vascular Dementia. I have noticed that she waits for cues from others who talk to her, before replying and she glosses over things that she does not remember (she cannot remember the name of her cat so calls her 'little one'). It is almost as though she knows something is wrong but covers up for this. So much so, that some people fail to acknowledge how confused she is, as she maintains 'superficial niceties'. Is this usual? I have been called by Soc-Serv asking me about my grandfather (who died 15yrs ago) as my mum convinced them that he was alive. Hospital consultants thought that my mum was on holiday up here, and still worked full-time (lecturing at 73!) I become exasperated at this. I simply do not know what is happening, as it is only with me that she asks questions which show her confusion. Any thoughts please? Thank you so much in advance.
