Hello TP.
Looking for some much needed advice on taking mum away for the weekend. We're looking at going to the Isle of white as we have family there and they've offered to put us up. My concern is whether to take mum of not. I know she would love it as she used to take us a kids a the time but I'm really worries that it's going to be a lot for her to cope with. Mums VD symptoms are worsening especially the agitation, aggression and disorientation. We try to take mum out locally to keep her stimulated but just recently she's been getting very upset when were out, especially if there are a lot of people around her. When we go to take her back to the home she really gets nasty and angry, it's really upsetting for my brother and I. Her incontenience is getting worse and communication has pretty much gone her mobility is getting worse and she can't really do stairs by herself anymore.
Taking her away is seeming more distant than ever. In torn as to what to do for the best, I'm going to feel guilty not taking her but then if I do take her and she's really bad whilst were away I think it would push me Over the edge!!
What are people's experiences?
Anything similar ? Advice? Recommendations?
Thanks
