Just got back from hospital with mum, as she yet again removed plaster cast from her arm during the night.
This is now cast number 5 in 12 days.
She was prescribed Haloperidol on Monday, but even that isn't stopping her, so spoke to the Colsultant this morning and we have increased the dose.
Have left messages with CPN and Alzheimers society, but no solution so far..
Basically mum hasn't got a clue as to why she needs it, it gets in her way, but the beauty is that when its off she shows me her arm and says
"look its swollen, do I need to see a doctor"?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
