Today has been a hard day with my nan. She had her ACE test last month which came back as 52/100 and the nurse recommended nan stops driving. I got her to fill in the voluntary forms, on the basis that she might get it back after her consultant appointment. This has caused 6 weeks of "I'm going to lie to get my license back" etc.
Yesterday nan recieved the letter from the memory nurse detailing what the results of the visit last month was.
This morning we had a bit of a set to as she was telling me that if she doesnt get her car back there is no point in living.
I have been home an hour (we are staying with her while we complete on our new house) and I have been pretty much called a liar the entire time. She did not eat the last of the bread last night, we did. She did not have points on her license last year for speeding. She is not having just a CT scan but is having 2 procedures, but couldn't show me on her letter where it said that. The scan will take 20 minutes not the 15 I said. She absolutely does not have dementia. She did not give the nurse mine and my sisters number when she visited. She is going to "make someone let her have her car back".
Luckily she has signed the LPA forms because I absolutely know she does not remember doing it. She doesnt remember signing the forms for her license and the other week she didnt even recognise her own writing.
I know I shouldnt take any of it personally and she is worried about tomorrow, but today I'm struggling with it a little
