Morning
This my first visit here.
My mum (84) who has alway been pretty scatty is now forgetting and getting muddled with things like where she has put money or keys or any number of things.
Her sister in law rang me last night after she and her husband had taken my Mum away to Blackpool for a few days to say that she was really hard work kept losing the key to her room. Emptying her bag everywhere they went to check her money. Also to let me know the had 300.00 that she had in her bag that she couldn't remember what it was for.
My problem is that I still work full time my Mum seems to cope with all the eveyday things like eating and washing OK. She goes out 4-5 times a week to bingo. and pops out shopping and pottering around the shops.
She also still does a bit of needle work from home.
If I take her to the doctors what will happen, I cannot imagine what she would be like without her independance but when do I know that she is a danger to herself.
Money can be replaced but its her health that worries me and I don't know what I should do next.
Any one been through something similar
Bye
Pauline
