My nan had a stroke 3 months ago and has since developed dementia at a rapid pace. For the last week she has been counting constantly. No one can talk to her because she just counts. She is very agitated and keeps taking her pyjamas off even though she only has use of her right side.
We found out 3 days ago she has a water infection so we are hoping that this is playing some part in why she is so bad at the moment. Problem is, she is refusing medication, not really eating or drinking.
Can anyone recommend any activities she can do which may take her mind off of the counting. The stroke took most of her vision (we're still waiting for her eyes to be tested 3 months on) so she can't see the TV or read. She used to knit but I'm assuming this would be out the question incase she damaged herself with the needles.
Any help would be appreciated. This is very new to us and it's so upsetting to see.
