My mother suffers with Parkinson's dementia.
My most recent challenge is that she wants to use the iron. I removed the fuse about 6 months ago and she has had no interest in ironing. She now is keen to iron again and just thinks the iron is broken. She wants a new iron. I feel that I am taking so much away from mum already and this would be something else. I do not, however, feel that she would be safe now to use an iron if no one was with her.
I am at a loss as to what to say to her and am worried about her reaction.
Anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks
Debra
