hi everyone
havent posted for a while, so a little update on mum and her antidepressants
she's been on them a few weeks now and up untill last weekend we were seeing an improvement she's been smiling more, a lot chattier, and the nurses were saying how different she was, its her birthday friday, so my dads family came to stay last weekend and we had a early celebration with her with a cake and cards and she was fine but when we left she started getting aggresive towards the staff, we had arranged for her to come home on sunday but she was very aggresive towards my dad so we made the decision to take her back to hospital, the nursing staff seems to think that the prozac has lifted her mood a bit too much and made her more aware of what is going on so its back to the drawing board, they might have to reduce the dosage to try and keep her stable.
when dad took her back she said to him "you wait your going to be here one day see how you like it"
i'd love to know where all this comes from as most of her conversations are just garbled murmurings.
she obviously is still very much aware of her surroundings,
all this has left me more confused than ever, just when i think the dementia has taken over she comes back fighting.
im just off for a visit so fingers crossed she's still not to angry with us for taking her back
hope your all ok
take care xxx
p.s im so pleased it was TP having problems i'd thought id been banned when i couldnt get on the last few days xx
