Hello, I am Rosemarie, My mum has recently been diagnosed with Vascular
Dementia. Its funny how you carry on thinking .... doesn't mum keep repeating
herself all time.... or, she cant remember where she's put her money, or anything
else for that matter. And you keep reminding her of things she has to do, appointments
to keep... it goes on and on. Although she is now 85 years old, and as stubborn as they come, its so hard to keep reassuring her. she gets so upset at times and then other times she lets you know who's boss (and it definitely isn't me lol).
Unfortunately mum has an added problem of Diabetes. She doesn't get hungry, so she forgets to eat. We all do as much as we can for her (as anyone would). But it is such a worry. We love her so much and feel that we are losing her a day at a time.
