We are struggling with mums care more and more at present. I have been on this forum previously stating how she is very reluctant to let us help her as she feels there is nothing wrong but she will not have a bath without a row, when she is in the bath she refuses to wash or be washed. She has a massive sore area under her boobs which smells foul but will not let me wash it and/or apply cream to it. It looks like a burn it is that bad.
she does not eat for days on end and generally does not look well at all but there is no real reason to get the doctors in or call an ambulance or anything! I feel that mum is now ready to go into a home but my family is in denial. She needs to be loooked after properly and I feel we are failing her. We are doing our best but I feel it is not good enough.
What do you suggest, Help please would be gratefully appreciated. I understand you cannot tell us what to do but just a suggestion wouod be good. When did you decide enough was enough of muddling through and get your loved one some proper care. Carers coming in has been attempted once but she would not let them in in the end so we had to cancel them.
