Mum saw her doctor this week. He continually talked looking away from her. He said that tablets wouldn't do any good. He just said if things became too bad for my dad, then we should contact Social Services. He did say that he thought she had Vascular Dementia (we had assumed she had Alzheimers). First time this has been mentioned. He says it's been caused by her Diabetes. Of course he's not an expert, but doesn't seem to think it's worth sending mum to see one. He really didn't seem bothered at all.
Due to my own health problems, I find it hard to help dad much. It worries me what this situation is doing to my dad. It amazes me how he copes. I know I couldn't be with her 24/7. I still find myself correcting her, which I know does no good, but I think I'm still in denial and feel my mum will realise, which of course she won't.
Oh well, I guess it's just take it day by day.
