I'm sorry if I seem to be complaining when my situation is nowhere near as bad as others on here, but I get so frustrated when people who pop in to see Mum for an hour or so tell me that she seems OK to them! They makes me feel as if I'm imagining it, or just making a fuss over nothing.
I know she is in the early stages, and is lucky that she can do lots of things still, but I notice the many things that have deteriorated over time, and the things that she struggles with and that I have to support her with.
She gets her medication mixed up if I don't sort it out for her, puts her clothes on backwards and sometimes forgets she hasn't taken her skirt off when she goes to bed, gets hot during the night then searches for her skirt in the morning. She can't use the remote control for the TV, forgets the words for certain items and of course repeats conversations. She's also so negative about most things, and very outspoken to the extent of being verbally abusive about people at times.
Maybe it's just me 'looking for new signs'... I'm just totally confused by it all.
Sorry for ranting , but has anyone else felt like this early on?
