I'm not proud as I write this but after an awful week, we walked out from our visit to Mum - her behaviour over the past week both to us and the staff has been dreadful - Doc stopped Metformin 10 days ago because of a drop in GFR to 29 to see if this would help - she has had a nasty UTI which thankfully has cleared up but as a result of this and six monthly Diabetes bloods Doc has said to try no Metformin and she needs to be drinking more water and to cut down on the orange juice, we assume because of the sugars and acid etc.
For someone with VD and Alzheimer's we are amazed that she can muster up the strength etc to be so rude and argumentative- at the moment are thoughts are to just leave her and let her get on with it and if she can't see that everyone is just trying to help her then so be it but every visit, she is constantly moaning, telling us we don't know anything etc, there is only so much a person can take. I've tried to toughen up myself but I just can't do it and really don't know what to do next for the best.
