I need to know if what I'm doing is normal....
Early stages, mum has been to her GP , I was with her, but she will not acknowledge the memory loss and God forbid we mention the memory clinic...
Mum seems to have a real fixation with her prescribed tablets for thyroid & blood pressure, many times she goes to the local pharmacy to collect them, when I've already done so, had my 2nd call from them in 2 weeks as she called in to see if they are ready...! Local village pharmacy, have known mum forever & they know she is experiencing memory issues.
I feel very underhand, as I've copied her prescription, put a note in with them telling her what she takes & why she no longer takes HRT ( she thinks she still does)& put this note in her tablet cupboard.... Didn't even discuss with her, just did this note.
I'm now dreading the morning, as she will see the note & call me, going mad. I know it's coming!!
I can feel myself already mentally preparing to tell her she knew about the note & that we've discussed it......but I feel terrible that this is being deceitful to her......what to-do!!????
I know little fibs with this illness are a given, but it's so hard. Never had to do anything like this with mum,but finding myself more & more ' fibbing' to make my / her life easier.
Is this normal???
