Hi All
Mum woke about 3o'clock this morning and said everything was black with white figures (whether numbers or people I don't know). She couldn't recognise her frame by the side of the bed and was very frightened, even with the light on, which she left on for about an hour. I bought her a plug-in nightlight today (one that switches on when its dark) but although she likes it will take a torch to bed tonight. She stayed in bed until about 2.30 and had some soup for dinner. She is continually complaining about aches and pains in her lower back and arms/legs. I'm going to request a home visit from the GP tomorrow (GP is wonderfully supportive).
Mum is blind (AMD) and deaf (but does wear a hearing aid during the day). She has suffered from Charles Bonner Syndrome in the past and I don't know whether this was what she 'saw' this morning or whether it was part of the mixed dementia.
Does anyone have any ideas please? This is such a fantastic place to gain ideas so thank you in advance.
