Hi,
My name is Michele, and I have just signed up to this.
The reason I signed up is because earlier this year my Mum was diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer's. It was very hard to get her to see the doctor, but myself and my sister got her there.
Over a year ago my Dad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and unfortunelty he passed away 5 weeks ago.
Obviously, my Mum is finding this time very hard and she seems to be going down hill. We have noticed since my Dad died that she has started to get locked into situations in her mind and after about an hour it all gets ok again. She told me the other day that she was worried because she couldn't remember what she had for tea the night before.
She is on tablets, but doesn't get seen by a doctor or anyone. Both myself and my sister and going to try and get her to the doctors.
I just find all this really hard. I feel guilty when I can't be with her. I worry about so much, and all this is so new to me. I love her more than words can say. I just don't know what to do.
Sorry, I just need to talk to someone.
Love
Michele xx
