Hi all me again!!!
Much has progressed since my last note!
Mum is now receiving a weekly medipack as she doesn't take her medication.
It's going better because she's taking meds, but I have noticed she doesn't take her evening meds at all. She says she doesn't like them!
Today, I found she's already taken tomorrow's meds! I spoke to the pharmacist for advice. They gave me tomorrow's meds to personally give mum.
Social services have stepped in and from Monday will be going in each evening to administer the evening meds. I have emailed today's findings about the extra day taken. I guess they might go in during the morning too.
Mum doesn't think she needs any support still and although initially accepting this support now doesn't understand.
Today I bumped into mum in town at the cash point. She couldn't seem to get money out. She had tried with her bank card and a transport card without success.
I'll take her to the bank on Monday to see what is what! I have already taken away her credit card as she didn't know what it was!
Is there anything I'm missing that I should also be doing?
So, I do see light as the social services help is starting but dark too as there's just another thing to navigate.
Thank you xx
