Mum cones out with some confabulations, she went through a phase of insisting we went to find out where all my dads inheritance was, as she knew his dad was rich..and worked at the big house on the hill..she could see it and him from the window,(trees bad grown that was why we couldn't see it now),no such house etc totally made up, as I knew the history, but she was insistent there was money owing us.
Then she was going to see dads friend. And had gone to her house.... The story so detailed,but impossible.
Last visit a large black and white dog was barking at her from the garden.
I have to just agree, go along with it now,and change the subject
At present I am assuming she is confusing dreams, as she dozes a lot, with real memories as she hasn't actually seen anything while I am there.
I am reassured that mum is still astutely aware about strangers as the neighbour who arranged his builder to paint her house knocked to tell her he had finished,(I had told him the situation and that we would deal with it,and mum wouldn't recall anyone painting her house) mum evidently told him to clear off, that she hadn't asked him go paint house and that she was a poor pensioner who had no money to pay anyone, which he recounted to us with a chuckle, so that reassured me.
You feel the pwd is very vulnerable and I do worry someone could take advantage. I think that always stops me telling people about mum..it feels as I I am letting people in on the fact she could be taken advantage of.
