This is my first time on the TP, and just wanted to get a few things off my chest.
I am sooooooooo worried about my mum, who is the kindest, most caring, warm-hearted, compassionate person I have ever known, and is also my best friend, but she is also very independant !!!!!
My mum was a ward sister at the local hospital and was used to 'nursing' others. Mum is recently retired and is 61yrs old. She worked so hard all her working life and was looking forward to retirement, until 4-5yrs ago......................My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimers at the age of 58.
My dad was brilliant at his trade, and always worked so hard...........I could go on all night about his qualities...............I love him so much.
Sadly, this cruel illness is taking over him, and I lose a bit of my dad everyday.
I'm 38yrs old now and I too suffer from a neurological illness.......Multiple Sclerosis.
I have good and bad days.
What I am trying to say is I worry so much about mum.
Dad was put on Aricept, but his consultant has changed the tablet now to Rimanyl.
Me and mum (and maybe dad?) have noticed quite a big degeneration recently, and 'things' are becoming increasingly difficult.
I love my mum with all my heart.
Is there anything we can do ?????
Thanks for being there guys!
