I feel a terrible fraud... hardly able to get here ..... much to share .....
Burning question .... if anyone can help and allow me to pick up answers when I can ... at what point has anyone with EPA arranged actually decided they register it?
Mum's diagnosis post scan is (psych-ger's words) 'Alzheimers with Lewy Bodies' ... a fantastic (I thought) 24 (with much prompting) on MMSE last week ... yet in these last few weeks has been considerably less capable than ever - including I am only just unearthing now financial transactions she undertook some 6 months ago which are sounding alarm bells..... (or maybe it's me less capable because I haven't had the luxury of accessing TPers' support at whim?)......
Like the ostrich I tend to be... I don't want this to be happening ... I think the pysch-ger was as suprised as me that the brain scan did not confirm 'vascular' problems ..... Like the idiot I am I asked 'Is that good news or bad news?' - to which her reply, 'Neither, it's just news.'
I have felt so 'practical' so organised' at some points... even at the shock of initial mootings of dementia ..... even if I was always a total mess on an emotional level ..... now I feel like I am losing the plot ......
Kicks up the "derriere" gratefully accepted........
I'll give anyone who cares to be bored with it all - all the diatribe (some interesting conversations with consultants!!!) when I get fully back on-line hopefully later this week, in the meantime, love and thanks, a very panicky Karen (TF), x
