Have posted a few topics as trying to get to grips with things this week.
Mum got out of hospital at start of week.
She has vascular dementia
She has no mobility and can only really shuffle and needs supported. She cannot use hands at all so all assisted feeding.
She also has Heart issues etc.
She is not great today and cant hold her head up properly. says neck and head are sore and I notice since she got out of hospital there are times when she wants to say something but cant find the words. Other times ok.
Has lost quite a lot of weight over the months and sometimes has difficulty swallowing. Today she said she could not cough.
I am resolute about home care, but I am trying to get to grips with where we are in the road of dementia if that makes sense?
