Thankfully the doctor responded to my letter and called my Mum for a health check. Asked her several questions (including about cataract operation) and at the end asked if Dad had any concerns and he mentioned the memory issues. Dementia and Alzheimers were not mentioned but she has now been referred to a memory clinic. What can we expect from this?
On a positive note, I had been concerned about the lack of cleanliness in the house and her clothes always looked like she had spilled tea down them. Since her first cataract operation last week she has suddenly realised how dirty things are and has started cleaning. I am taking that as a positive. I am going to go an help her each week which will give her some other social contact.
