Hello everyone,
I am a new member and I am so pleased to have found a place where there are so many people in situations similar to my own. I was beginning to feel so isolated.
My Mum is in hospital at the moment. She is 81 years young and has been living alone for 6 years. Her memory has been failing for some time, and she has become more and more confused. Being a very independent, strong woman it took 3 cancelled appts to the doctor to finally get her there to talk about things. Sadly though things have deteriorated rather quickly. She began to see faces in plants and trees and she experienced very frightening hallucinations. So very reluctantly she has been admitted into hosipital.
She has been there for over 3 weeks now and this whole experience is becoming very distressing. The brain scan is normal, but my mothers behaviour and well being is not. She verbally abuses me every time I visit and says such awful things to me that I cannot repeat and I feel deeply wounded. She begs me to take her home and I just want to whisk her up and do that, but in my right mind I know that she is very ill and needs proper care.
Will I get a diagnosis? Where has my mother gone?
Is there anyone that has experienced similar?
