Hi everyone i have just registered I am 54 with a 26year old son and 14year old daughter at home i also have my mother living with me for the past three years since she had a knee replacement three years ago after the op she fell out in the street with the physo and processed to have falls quite frequently but she was fine in any other way but since then she has got worse she has changed she has no interest in things she used to she was only meant to stay with me to get over the fall but she has never gone home my daughter has to sleep with me as she has the bedroom she walks with a shuffle and even though she is physicaly fit she has changed so much but it has been so slowly things she does now she would never have done i just dont know how to explain it, she never inputs into converstation she has a knack of not anwsering people questions saying so what have you done then and when i asked her what she talk about on the phone she says oh nothing really but i know she cant remember, also she was so particular about her self but she is putting her pinny on under her jumper and i she washes her self but not properly,if i have to go out i make a sandwich for her and leave it but when i come back she has forgot to eat it and yet another day she will make herself one, oh there is so much more but i dont want to bore you when i ask her about things but she denies them and say no i am perfectly ok she leave the hot water tap in my bathroom running and then say well i checked and it wasnt me and i say mum it was you she replys oh i dont do nothing right i am always in the wrong and when i try to explain why i am telling her she says oh im sorry and then continues to apologise.When i have taken her to the doctors she has a way of making things seems ok she will never admit to anything and i have spoken to the doctor about this but to no avail i just want to know is it me am i going mad i just want someone to confirm my fears that it is dementia and not me thats mad if anyone can help i am so sorry to go on and on there is so much more but i would write a book thanks so much for listening
