We went to see Jean yesterday and she seemed very 'bad' for want of a better word. She had put her cardy on under her jumper (which was back to front) and she couldn't remember our names. The names part especially upsets my husband as he is her grandson.
Then she spent the hour we were with her asking where her sister was and when I said she was at home (she lives next door) she kept going next door to see her, although she couldn't remember which way it was, despite there not being a house on one side of her. At one point she had just walked back in and hadn't even shut the door behind her when she was asking where her sister was and saying she was going to see her again even though I explained that is where she had just come back from. I think it might be worry on her part because her sister is dieing and I think she is just checking she is still around. Trouble is she can't remember when she last checked on her.
Also we think she may have a bowel problem as the toilet is always in a right state and gav cleans it as best he can but it is still worrying as we have no idea how to deal with that.
Can decide if it was just an off day or if she is getting worse. I am really dreading the day her sister dies - what if she keeps asking me where she is and I have to explain every time that she is dead? Am not sure I could cope with that.
