Hello everyone.
My mom was diagnosed with mixed Dementia including FTD January of this year. (2017 ) she is 67 years old.
Since my mom retired December 2015, I noticed she wasn't herself, I thought at first she was just depressed and had a little bit of anxiety.
Unknown to me, she was suffering with Dementia.
March/April 2016 she was forgetting how to drive her car.
June/July 2016 she forgot how to use the washing machine and to her normal daily tasks i.e financial and banking duties.
September 2016 Age UK were coming in 6 days a week to cook her meals etc.
October 2016 couldn't remember what her address was, loss of speech.
November/December 2016 rapid decline in writing, reading and speech. Paranoid things were braking etc.
January 2017 had to make the hard choice of putting her into a care home.
Now at May 2017 she is incontinent, aggressive sometimes, cant remember what she had for dinner that same day. Ability to speak declined. Can't remember how to use a knife and fork, can just start undressing herself in front of me, and uses the bin as a toilet. Needs help dressing, bathing etc.
As you can see, this is a rapid decline with no plato.
I think my mom is in Stage 6 at the moment? I hope someone can help here, as to what stage she could be in?
She can still walk.
Thank you everyone.
