Hi all, my Mum has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Although I have set up a carer to visit her in her bungalow 4 times a day, I have had to change my work so I only work 4 days 8-2 ( or 2 days 8-8) this is so I can spend more time with her, I'm her registered carer. We are both ex forces and strong independent ladies....or we were , my mum now just sits on her sofa and is very unsteady on her feet. She will only go out with me but always makes excuses not to go out, I am hoping with improvement in the weather I will be able to encourage her to get out but I think it's because she is embarrassed at how frail she has become.
