Dear All, Just to fill you in on the visit from mental health lady who came out last week to do a assesment on mum we have been waiting since last july for one. She was very nice but there were endless forms and questions 2hrs in total.I could have cried a bucket of tears i think because i spend 24/7 with mum i had not registered how much her memory had deterated she hadnt really got a clue about anything past or present, she did the standard test on her and she was a lot worse than last time. I sat there and i just wanted to tell the woman to go,why did i put mum through this? i felt so cruel she was looking to me to help her answer how many children had she got she had no idea,yet sometimes i find it hard to believe theres anything wrong odd times she seems quite clear. Anyway the lady is coming back in 2 weeks i just wish at the moment i never started this and we would have managed on our own.I am so sad for her and yet she cant even remember her coming.STORM
