Morning all,
I seem to be switching between knowing what to expect when I visit my mum, to be being shocked at her deterioration and then back to "OMG, she can talk again"!
There are a couple of things that we have picked up on, I know there are so many different phases and things that dementia patients do and it changes from one person to the next.
But......she does this blowing thing, like she is blowing on a cup of tea or hot food!? Has anyone else noticed there loved ones do this? She also licks her finger like she is going to turn the page of a book. Yesterday, she thought the tea towel on her lap was a book.
I am think of getting her a fidget blanket, has anyone had any success with one of these? Or is it just another thing for them to throw on the floor.
You might tell from my tone that I have had enough today, sorry if I sound abrupt. Could actually do with a good swear and scream
Thanks
Jxx
