I'm Worried About My Mum

[silliemillie]

Sorry if this is a long one but I'm worried about my Mum.

She's 80 so I suppose I should expect some forgetfulness etc.

But just lately she is getting worse and also confused.

Some examples -

Last week we washed all our curtains and cleaned Windows, that was about 6 days ago, tonight she says "are we doing the curtains next week", "no Mum, we did them last week".

The other day I said I was just popping to the shop cos I wanted to get back for my program. I was longer than I thought so when I got back it was mid way through. Mum is sitting in front of the TV but said to me, "it's not started yet", "mum, it's on now", "oh wasn't really paying attention".

These sort of things happen every day. Should I be worried?

Thank you, I will try to get her to the GP.

Could she be dehydrated? It can sometimes seem like they are forgetting things
