Not been on here for a while - Mum is now in a care home - good days and bad. Good days are when she remembers that her great grandson belongs to her grandson and bad days when all she says is yep and gets everyone mixed up, the ones dead and the ones alive, or won't talk at all and tells you to go away.
Mum has her head down all the time and won't or cannot hold it up, have been told this is down to her parkinsonism.
She is now thinking that her grandson is with her - my son - but says she has been told she is dreaming, but insists he is following her and that I am always calling and then when she goes out of the room, I go away - she recalls this when she sees me only. Is this normal.
At least she is safe, not going missing, or leaving the taps on etc. Eating well and is clean, although she doesn't like leaving her room for long - it is her little world, which is sad. I still come away after each visit and have a cry and sometimes a laugh, as some of the thing she gets mixed up are quite funny, but sad at the same time and I think, if only Dad could see her now, he wouldn't believe it!
Keep your chins up everyone!! Take care.
Thanks - chants.
