Again,my mum has rolled,and fallen out of bed,she is more active but not awake as such more like dreaming or hallucinating,but this becoming more frequent and she is covered in bumps,bruises which aren't always apparent until a few days after,it looks like she has been in a rugby match at the moment..
Last week I called the paramedic to help get her up,as I heard her land with a thud from the front room next door.
He got mum up,checked her over and she thankfully was fine,although she has some terrible bruises that I've been putting comfrey ointment on..
Tonight,I heard her fall again,she had wedged herself between her bed and a chest of drawers,I asked her to hold my hands so I could pull her to a sitting position,so then help her circumnavigate using the bed grab rail to get up.. She was shouting get off,you've bashed me up and your trying to kill me,which she has accused me of in previous confabulations,and the first time she said it a year or so ago,i was so upset and devastated-but from reading posts on here,I've learnt such confabulations are aimed at those nearest and dearest to them..I'm slowly becoming used I suppose to it now,if I ever can be,but it hurts and I took it personal again tonight..
So,mum wasn't cooperating,and I had to wake my eldest daughter up to help me get mum up..
She wasn't hurt,but clearly in the middle of a huge hallucination,and was demanding I got the surgeon out to mend her!
I said,the ambulance crews were very busy as it's Friday night and they would be a long time coming if at all..
We got her up and onto her bed-I made sure she wasn't in any serious pain,other than her new shiny bruises waiting to come out,but I have hurt my back from a very old injury,broke my coccyx and pinched nerve,which I had hoped wouldn't give out on me..
Run out of coffee,tonight of all nights and really wanting a cigarette too,although I've been packed up a year,I vape now,and it's not having the desired effect at all...
I guess what I'm asking is,the how long is a piece of string type question..
How long does this night time over activity phase carry on for and how do you coped with all it entails.?
