My poor Mum has been suffering with Vascular Dementia for seven years now.
During lockdown she broke her hip, and had to have an operation.
She was discharged into a nursing home, but then was rushed back to hospital because she got acute delirium, and stopped eating, drinking, wouldn’t take her medication.
she also became very violent, physically and verbally (Mum is normally the sweetest, kindest person in the world and has never sworn in her life)!!
She bit me so hard yesterday that I had to have a nurse pull her off me.
ive never seen anything so devastating and distressing in my life... I feel like my heart is breaking ?
The hospital have now said they can’t do anything for her and are sending her back to the nursing home... they don’t want her back as she so challenging and just shut her in her room.
I feel desperate with worry.
I’m so close to her and am used to seeing her everyday...
I’m now only allowed to see her once a week for 20 mins.
Feeling so sad ?
