HI ALL
First id like to say thank you to all that replied to my last post 'doesnt get easier' have just read the replies,means a lot.
Went to see mum thursday,and every time i see her she seems to have deteriated so much.When we got to the home we couldnt find her and even the staff were panicking then we found her in the garden,shed managed to move a chair into the furthest corner behind a bush and she looked so sad,not crying or even unhappy just really sad.
And though she has not made a lot of sense in the last few months,she seems to be talking complete nonsense {sorry if that sounds harsh}this was one of the sentances she said
'If you look in the bottom drawer,there are about 6 flowers you can have,sure the kids will eat them with some soup,and that horrid man i live with phoned Dr glanville last night because the cat was ill and the Dr said i should get the boat tonight so i had to bury the dandelions in the back garden so they wouldnt take them.Can you get them?
All of that was said in one sentance and said with such sincerity that i just nodded and said i would.
Now im thinking that since shes been in this home shes gone down hill so fast,she only went in in march and though she was very confused ect there was a glimpse of some normality every now and then but now theres nothing.
Also she seems so much more fraglie she cant walk very far without tripping up,though she looks better in the sense that she putting bit of weight on,being bathed ect.
I feel that maybe i should have left her ,not pushed for a assesment on her but at the time it felt like the right thing to do.I know the good thing is that she has absolutly no idear where she is which is easier for her.
Reading that sentance now it seems funny,but at the time i was just dumbstruck and was thinking my mums gone mad!
joy
