Whats others experience of AD/VD patients with Aphasia
One of the biggest problems with my Mother is her loss of the correct words and inability to explain clearly what is wrong or is needed both in person and on the phone this coupled with extreme deafness causes so much aggresion from her when you try for the umpteenth time to explain that you do not understand what she is on about
Add on she now totally ignores all bills /cheques /letters etc and has probably dumped them in the rubbish yet if you challenge her she is quite violent and claims she has done everything perfectly for years
The neighbours feel she should be in care but she is so adamant theres nothing wrong with her its the rest of the world thats mad and as the law stands she cant be forced to go into care
Until she starts wandering the doctors wont even consider sectioning her
So what on earth does one do
We do not live close
We know she is a danger to herself
She refuses point blank to move out of her house except in a wooden overcoat
yet is on the phone repeatedly thinking we can just fly in in 5 mins everytime she has mislaid something
