My Mum 72 is in mid stages of AD, recently having a brain CT scan. No immediate physical cause found.
Mum & Dad live in their own house at the back of our property, and in most respects I am Mums carer. I also have POA for her health & welfare.
Today I received a letter for a follow up appt. to see the Geriatrician possibly to discuss next steps following mums CT scan and possibly to discuss suitability for Aricept.
Problem is the appt is on my day of work , and I have no paid leave left.
Work would certainly give me time off unpaid, but my older sister has said she would take Mum to her appt. and I don't need to take time off my work, when she doesn't work.
On one hand I feel that this appt is of some importance and I should be there also, least if all I have questions being Mums main carer who oversees all her meds.
On the other hand, my sister has said previous that she feels I am taking over and feeling left out.
Would appreciate thoughts.
