Having just got my father settled in a Nursing Home and all the accusations from family members having ceased for the time being, my Mother has been reassessed by her doctor who thinks she will have to go into Residential Care soon!!!!
Oh the joy and happiness that news will bring to my sisters....no doubt their vicious words will start to fly once more.
My Mum is very confused now and says the strangest things at times. The other day she thought Dad was Father Christmas! She still lives at home on her own now, and she copes ok I suppose. She has meals on wheels and evening care visits to check she has eaten and to prompt her medication.
This news from the Doc has come sooner than I expected. He said she was well cared for however but getting very confused.
Not really asking for any advise here just wanted to put it on paper ...talk with people who understand.
Thanks for listening.
