Mum lives on her own as yet and has a fair bit of company (and assistance) through the day, but is on her own at night from about 8 o' clock. She has got to the stage where she tells us daily that people have been at her house at night, a man and woman. At first (having learnt better!) we used to tell her that nobody had been to her house, but now just listen to her and sort of humour her.
She says she is very frightened by them although these people do not harm or or even speak to her (she is very rational when she tells this tale and almost believable). and she says if they bother her she will just run off out of her house and away from them.
Do you think she is actually "seeing" these people or do you think she may be dreaming. I cannot believe she is up all night but she says she is. I am thinking of getting a baby monitor type of thing ( as she lives quite near, I don't know what the range is for these things) but then I wonder if I may be making a rod for my own back and will just be lying in bed listening for her all night (and maybe panicking every time I hear her especially if she starts to mutter and mumble) I have stayed with her before and she honestly sleeps all night and maybe gets up once for the toilet, but she does peer through her curtains looking for the people, but I just tell her to get back in bed and she does.
Does anyone think she will actually take flight and run away or not. She is not on any AD medication, just blood pressure tablets, thyroid tablets and aspirin together with a cholestorol tablet.
I know you cannot say for sure, but has anyone else come across anything like this?
Sorry to ramble, I am not very good at getting my point across.
Cheers
