Hi my name is Beverley or I use Bevpet. My 88 year old mother is currently in the hospital. She gets dehydrated at home, goes into hospital displayine symptoms of dementia. They rehydrate her and give brain scans, and then look at me as if I need to be in the looney bin.
Last week when they were going to discharge her, I knew what she was going home to and I panicked and told the Doctors I would have to walk away to protect my sanity.
So I went searching online for help and came across this web site. And saw some sharings on dementia symptoms due to dehydration.
I could write a lot more. But I find reading other's experiences more strengthening. I am taking my mother back to her unit, tomorrow. I told the Ocupational therapist that she would be back soon. But this time I am going to be armed with all of the info I can get. thank you for listening to me. I am 63 and I live in Perth Western Australia.
