She Can Still Do It To Me!!

[gness]

My mother!! She has gone from completely bed bound, near death's door with dementia to....completely bed bound, fit as a fiddle with dementia...I think.

Today I sat by her bed til she woke....she looked up and said...
Is that you, Gness?
Yes...I replied....It is, Mum...pleased she recognised me.
Hmmm...said she.....You've put on a bit of weight, haven't you?

I hope she meant since birth and not since last week... :-(

Awww ta, Psybo, my main worry now is lad 2.

Yes - that is quite common, although probably not a majority- our psychogeriatrician suggested that was part of Paranoia more than dementia. Certainly, misplacing things and dysphasia can have that result too.

Jaysus, ferlew, she sounds like the mother from hell you have my sympathy.

[ferlew]

Bless ya folks, you would NOT believe a quarter of this woman's malevolence.
I would like to get it off my chest, but it's soooooo hard.

[tonyav]

Would seeing a councilor help, ferlew.

[ferlew]

Bit late in the day now, I reckon, Tonyav.

[tonyav]

Sounds like you could do with talking to someone about though, ferlew.

Get it off your chest here, if it helps, ferlew x

[ferlew]

Bless you for your concern - back when it mattered, there just wasn't any help.

[DTCwordfan]

Now there is, ferlew....and with a degree of anonymity here, or how much as you so desire.

[tonyav]

Always seems to be the same, ferlew, when you really need help it isn't there.

[ferlew]

I'll dwell on it a bit, can't see what's to be gained, if I am honest.
Just anecdotal stuff for any future reference.

[ferlew]

Night you lovely folks, my presence is needed elsewhere :)

[Psybbo]

Goodnight ferlew xx

[DTCwordfan]

Night, take care.

[pixie373]

Good night, ferlew xx

[tonyav]

G'night, ferlew.

Gness when I reach 80+ I have decided to take to my bed and say whatever I like to whom ever I like and the family will have to say "isn't gran a scream" because they will be so embarrassed they wont know what else to say ! I am looking forward to it !

[gness]

Dee.....I don't intend to take to my bed but Tony has said that when I'm sixty four I can say whatever I like whenever I like.....days to go!!!! ☺
