Just found out mother has not taken Donezepil since November.
I went over by train cos she said they wouldn’t give her a home visit. Nurse said they offered her one but she was rude to him and receptionist and put the phone down.
then she said to me they wouldn’t give her one. Then she says the usual thing ‘ I’ve never lied to you have I. But she has and often.
Then she says she says she’s having a few days break from them but the nurse said it’s a few months
Then she gets angry with receptionist because they won’t accept a bank card. And she tries to pay with money but she hasn’t got enough.
Are her pills supposed to help with anger or repeating herself?
Her legs are terrible. Swollen crusty and now infected. The district nurse went last week so understand why they didn’t do something then.
Im ringing her up to check she’s had the antibiotics as she’s saying they are making her feel sick. Hopefully she has taken them. Because this morning she said she hadn’t but then said she had!
I thought her carers were getting her prescriptions but the GP said it should be up to family to check all this. I don’t live near her.
I don’t know anything about dementia and trying to make her see logic isn’t working.
Is there a support group cos I’m finding it stressful? My health isn’t the best.
Also I’m trying to deal with the OPG and her solicitors who took a lot of her bungalow money and get her moved nearer. So I’ve go t different issues going on.
thank you
