Yes, I rang the Doctor, and was told I could have a home visit, but then the Doctor rang my mothers number, not mine while she was sitting next to me, so it was difficult to say too much, he explained that there were two ways to go, one was for her to go into hospital for tests, then he said that if she could come in to the surgery the tests could be done there, so I said ok as I knew she would not agree to the hospital, when I put the phone down she was very cross and didnt want to go to the surgery, so after a few raised voices I said I would ring and cancel it, but luckly I couldent get a reply, so she said ok we had better go!, I ordered a taxi and went, arriving an hour early by mistake, but didnt have to wait all that time, she had to take a urine sample and have blood tests there, he said that she had an infection which could be causing the problem, but she was unaware of any infection and had no effects from it, anyway she had the blood tests and he asked questions which proved her recent memory loss, she is being refered to a specialist at a local hospital for more tests, and we have to see her Doctor again for the results of the blood tests in a few weeks.
I am very worried how she will take the results, as she will not admit that anything is wrong, also last night she became very confused again about where she was, it seems to come on in the evening, in the morning she gets everything right, but cannot remember what she said the night before, and refuses to believe she said it.
The local hospital is doing a trial of the new drug the Doctor said and it would probably be available, of course to this my mother replied oh I'm going to be a guinea pig am I, most of the time she is quite happy, its me thats feeling the stress.
