Ah... Been there, done that, didn't care for it. Sorry it's your turn Mungo.
Take care of your health first, everything else can be dealt with if you're well yourself.
Good luck mate.

When my nan had a stroke due to a fall she ended up with dementia and the best bit of advice a doctor gave was "don't question your nan, try to engage in the conversation, but don't question her when she says the same thing for the 10th time, making them confused does more harm than good as they don't realise you've heard it several times already,"
I hope that can help you too. Stay strong, don't give up and push the authorities for the help your mum deserves.

Stay strong, don't give up and push the authorities for the help your mum deserves. Spot on Thor. Erindoors' dad is losing it slowly and although we speak different languages, I mention subjects I know he knows about and he enjoys launching into the same stories I've heard countless times before. If he gets it a bit wrong I'll ask him "what about ......" and he'll go back and correct himself or give another example story (for the umpteenth time) . The strange thing is, he remembers my name, who I am and where I fit in to the big scheme of things. I suspect it's because we talk at length and with cohesion, at least in his personal world. Many others are a a stranger to him even though they've been around longer in his life. Engage and be in the sufferer's world, it helps a great deal. |
