Hi,
Mum is waiting to see her doctor to be referred to mental health, she recently had MRI and showed benign tumour, we know now this isn't causing her behaviours etc so basically been discharged from neuro clinic, letter from neuro surgeon says the symptoms shown with the memory test etc is present with person with Alzheimer's, that's it...I spoke to clinic secreatary who said your mum has been discharged nothing else this clinic can do and to just keep a look out if she gets worse, it's been like a smack in the mouth as we're basically back to the start,
Mum is now convinced she's working, she retired couple years ago and that my dad is still alive, he died suddenly 7 years ago, she is putting the grill on closing the door and setting fire alarms off, she has folded up tea towels, hand towels etc all over the place she put a towel over the cooker last week, can anyone tell me if this is a more advanced stage, we just feel we get somewhere then shunted right back to the start and in the meanwhile mum is getting worse day by day, sorry for the long post xx
