Hi I am a new member. My mum is in hospital in an assessment ward which is a secure ward.The assessment has not been completed yet but the consultant has advised me to date mum has a moderate level of dementia which appears to be vascular.
I am obviously trying to come to terms with this which is upsetting enough, but the events on the ward plus mums stories are causing me to be in floods of tears every day on the ward when I visit her.
There is little or no conversation as my mum focuses entirely on events that are going on which now seems to be more imaginary than reality.
The story that I got today was that there were people in her room removing babies from the woman's tummy and killing them.That one of the male nurses who she calls a policeman or a bus driver has been touching her breasts and her breasts were bleeding she says,which of course they were not,and that she had been given a bath and needles were vstuck into her arms.
Can someone please help me to understand what is going on as this is extremely upsetting.
