Hi everyone
I have just joined up and wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas. My mum is 89 and diagnosed with dementia some 6 years ago. She fell a few weeks ago and had to go into respite for a 2 weeks and so could not go out to Spain as planned. After a couple of weeks my brother came to see if she could manage to go back there with him. She did and was ok physically.
However, she has been doing strange things and then denying she has done them. I think its all the change she has had. Has anyone else found change to have a very negative affect on dementia symptoms?
