sometimes it is hard seeing my mum changing in front of my eyes , dementia is not good , I would tag EOR but she is not here and @outlander , i am feeling it for you my sister looking after your pop xoxo

what a terrible week I have had inbetween me not sleeping to well , my mr  shaz who get overwelmed with everything 

my mum showing more signs of dementia , going to make a bedroom downstairs as mum is having

trouble with the steps but she is so confused and wants everythings in the house in her room

she nearly had a fall this afternoon and she get really angry quickly 

amm finding it sometimes soooo hard @Former-Member

Oh dear @Shaz51 

I am so sorry to hear about all that you are going through..

Mr Shaz would bounce off of your worrying as well..

If you say to him that you are okay and  are very tired; need rest..would that help?

Has your mum had another assessment recently by someone specialising in the dementia field?

Your mum would struggle with change..

If there are some special ornaments or photographs that you could even ask her to choose with you and place them all around where her bed will be...

Letting her know that she will be safe there and not fall over..

Anger is something that is a part of their frustration and confusion...from dealing with the illness..

She is not really angry with you...

Hard for you to experience it though..

Does your mum like a certain kind of music....or a special dvd?

Family photograph album?

Something you can put on to watch and lay down to rest at same time..

Take care

Sophia

thank you my @Sophia1 

Mum has a daily routine of croosword puzzles, tv , plays her music  which is helpful 

Mr Shaz would bounce off of your worrying as well..-- very true , my poor darling and he is also very protective of me too which does not help with what mum says -- but i know it is not her 

Has your mum had another assessment recently by someone specialising in the dementia field?--- no I think I will need to talk to the doctor soon which mum will not like -- her sister has noticed the difference in her sister

Thats all so hard to deal with @Shaz51 and must feel very overwhelming at times. Please try your best to take a little bit of time each day to do something you get some joy from doing. Its very important that you dont crash and burn. Some extra TLC for you right now is vital my dear. 😊💖

Hi @Sophia1 🌷
