Hi, my beloved mother passed away on January 7th, so my experiences with this illness are in the past. I draw comfort though from reading the posts, wish I'd found it earlier.
She was 86, and until 2 years ago was in excellent mental and physical health so I know I'm luckier than some. Jan 2019 she fell at home in the kitchen and fractured her hip. She developed delirium after the surgery, which then progressed to dementia.
There is a lot to say even though it was less than 2 years, it will all be familiar to everyone here but still I need to share her story. I will write more in time.
