Hi,
I’m new to posting on here and not quite sure what I’m doing!!!! I have been caring for my 92year old mum in our home for 7 years, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2011
This last year has been hard as mums dementia has progressed to having very limited mobility, and very little interaction . What I am finding really distressing is her obsession with her glasses (specs) for the last 3 months every waking moment is taken up with cleaning them,putting them on,stating everything is “blurry”and removing them to start the process again!.I feel I’ve tried everything.From getting her eyes tested, new glasses, removing them from sight, etc. etc. She gets so distressed crying she can’t see. She can read things we have requested her to.Sorry this is a lengthy post but I am becoming desperate . Has anyone experienced similar and more so does anyone have any suggestions?????
Thank you
