Hi guys this is my first post. My mother is 82 and suffers from early dementia. She keeps her own house, does her own shopping, has no other ailments and is very mobile. Well at least she was till about 2 month ago. Turning in the garden she misplaced her foot and fell. She fractured her shoulder. The X-ray wasn’t good. They were going to replace her shoulder until they found out about her dementia. Now she walks round with one arm like a t-Rex only moveable from the elbow down over. Her confidence has fallen through the floor (won’t use escalators or go in Walkin shower on her own), struggles to dress and undress herself.
