Just here to ask for cyber hugs as Mum due to start a respite fortnight tomorrow.If you read my last message, I was feeling desperate because my mum's dementia had been made so much worse with a uti. Well, that's over but her dementia seems worse. She's three hours away with no other family support and she's been ringing 111 a lot. (Again last night;got a bewildered message from a GP at 1am who obviously didn't know what was going on.) This afternoon her housing association rang to say she'd reported to them that men keep blocking up her toilet. Which men?!
Anyway I'm full of trepidation because she said to me ," I'd be overjoyed if the respite was called off" Gulp! What if she refuses to go? She's unable to care for herself at all (although she asserts that she can, of course) and she's suffering every day from delusions which make her think someone's getting in and threatening/ playing tricks on her.
Oh Lord! Don't ask me what'll happen AFTER the fortnight: I just hope she will agree to go tomorrow!
