Hi again everyone, Happy New Year.
My Aunt and Uncle came to spend Christmas with us and the week started really well. My Aunt seemed to understand most that was going on around her although she didn't realise it was Christmas! Well she got steadily worse as the week went on, eventually asking 'Where's J gone?' every 30 seconds when he went out to the shop. I even wrote it on a piece of paper for her, but she forgot to look at the paper...
They went back home on the 30th and since then i've had numerous tearful phone calls from my uncle saying she 's packed her bags and wants to come back to our house and she's constantly asking him when she can come back. She even rings me when he's in his greenhouse asking when they can come...
We live 100 miles away and we're worried that she's going to start walking...
Well my uncle rang this morning in a state and asked if i could try and get the consultant out to see her as he breaks down every time he picks the phone up. I rang him and his secretary said he 'might' be able to visit, but to also ring the Community Psychiatric Nurses. I rang them and the lovely lady said she will visit them in the next couple of days.
I'm so relieved that the ball now seems to be rolling, but on the other hand am very worried about her. Even as i was talking to my uncle she'd locked herself in the toilet and couldn't get out.
Can any of you give me some idea of what happens next or what we should be doing? I've never had contact with CPNs before.
