I am wonder if anyone heard of the pneumonia Jab , like the flu Jab .
Just that the nurse came around about mum pads and she ask me if I wanted to give mum the Flu Jab so I said yes , then she said has mum ever had the pneumonia Jab, I said that I never new they was one .
she went on to say they give the injection every 10 years , she was going to check if mum ever had one, but I said she would of had no reason to have one 10 years ago as she would of only been 66 and if she not had it shall let have the pneumonia Jab.
she notices mum walking was getting worse and went on to tell me how bad it can get that she be bed ridden and would have wash down in beds and how they can go into a fetal piston [sp] and can't bend they arms . where I told her to stop , because I had seen it on TV .
her point in telling me this is because mum can not get upstairs to have a bath to wash her hair , so is having wash down, down stairs toilet, so when social worker told me that mum could have bath in social services day center, an option to consider rather them making walk in shower that in 2 years time mum may not be able to use, I was not to happy about that so shall tell her that at a meet we are having soon.
so was talking to nurse about it , so she told me the story above also saying how in a few years time mum won't be able to use shower, so as they bed bath people , they no issue with mum have wash down every day
so few hours after her leaving me . me going clothes shopping , got home and felt like having a temper tantrum on the floor could
visualize me having one, because why my mum this can't be for real, but never just put music on so then felt better .
so back to my question has anyone else had it pneumonia jab for they love one who has dementia / AZ have they had any side effects
