Either, after 10 days of strong antibiotics, the infection is still raging or some the Alzheimer’s has grabbed a chunk of her brain things were so bad. Basically she was a zombie most of the day and sometimes didnt recognise me. As usual there were no visitors so just us but she kept telling me that her son, Grahame, who took his own life nearly 4 years ago, was coming to visit and I went along with it but kept diverting about delays and the weather. Given her sons think I am lying about her having dementia, and with her permission and so as she could see us together on my phone screen, I took 90 seconds videoing us talking while sat together on the couch and during it she talked about the forthcoming visit of her late son and even that was heartbreaking to watch back.
Late in the afternoon having had no contact from her sons I texted them each with the same message including that I had the video and about how poorly mum was although I didnt send the vid until they asked to see it as I knew I would not be believed. Eventually one responded and said he would be up tomorrow and he wasn't bothered about the video and so I sent it to him. The next one was annoyed I had taken a video and so I sent him it. The third son is working away and didnt reply but at 8 o’clock in the evening arrived at the door worried sick. His mum was asleep on the couch. As he woke her her the 1st words she said were about her late son and the visit although she didn't recognise the one sitting opposite her. I told her his name and pointed him out on a group photo hanging on the wall she still had no recognition. This visit really shook him up as he was the one most adamant his mum wasn’t ill but just old, so I told him how I have struggled over the past 4 years with only the help of my own children who were primarily worried about me. No idea what today will bring. Sorry for such a long ramble but there is just no one else at present to talk to in person although doctor will phone later I hope.
