Hurrah and huzzah!!!
She's finally had the brain scan!!
It's strange to be calling this good news really but after four years of battling with mum and dad and lots of heartache and upset on both sides, I feel it's a monumental step - finally we're going to get real answers that will hopefully help my dad to accept what is happening.
Hopefully, we may also get some medication to calm her outbursts as the anti depressants aren't helping at all anymore.
We did as some of you advised and let the nurses take her in while we waited outside - I felt a bit weird about that, like we were abandoning her but it worked a treat as she still has some sense that certain people she has to be polite and defer to.
We also used the "setting a good example" card as my daughter is waiting for a brain scan as well and that seemed to sink in a little bit as well.
Well, we now wait for the results I guess - I mean the doctor has already told us it's demetia, I figure that the scan is to tell us what kind?
Anyway, thanks you all for your support - it means a lot.
