My wife Margaret is 87 and fell and broke her hip in June 2019. She very quickly showed some signs of confusion and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dementia in November by the Rice clinic.
She has struggled with walking from beginning because of oedema and very swollen leg but was getting around house and pushing trolley around supermarket with me.
All changed 3 weeks ago following another fall and she now can barley shuffle around house
She sits and dozes all day
Has stopped eating and says she is nauseous
Hardly drinking
Is this rapid decline a normal thing?
Was ok with dealing with mood swings early on but she now has no interest in anything and forgets where, what and who
