I spent Monday with mum before I went to dads on Tuesday.
She had phoned me on Friday to say she wanted to get rid of some furniture for the council to take.
I looked up the price but I didn’t book it as I know mum of old.
Arrived at mums and we discussed the furniture. Well, we went upstairs to move it and found that we would have to lift it over the bannister. The wardrobe is now back in the bedroom as she couldn’t be bothered.So there it will stay.
Mum changes her mind so regularly it is hard to keep up.
She is very often getting confused but can still do her bills etc.
She has lost weight as she doesn’t have much appetite either.
Her heart failure is definitely getting worse as she cannot do much around the house now without getting out of breath. Her walking is very slow now. She gives herself another 3 years. I hate to say it but I don’t think it will be that long.
Her decline into this stage has happened over a few months. She has to rest more and is sleeping longer. Nearly 12 hours overnight as well as cat napping during the day.
She has always been breathless but a lot more now, even at rest.
Mum was given a heart failure diagnosis in 2013. She was born with a congenital heart defect.She is 85.But thinks she is 86.She won’t have carers in only me.
