I've referred in a couple of posts here to my wife's dementia. So far it hasn't stopped us going away, often abroad, in the motorhome. However she recently took a turn for the worse and I'm not sure what will be possible in the future.
I've started a blog, partly as therapy and to share my experiences, but also to try to gain insights and tips from other people. It occurs to me that given the size of the membership and its age profile there may well be people on here who would be interested so here's the address:
We are carers for Lady p`s mum. Although she is capable of carrying on her daily life at home she does get flustered over silly things.
For example if a light bulb fails she will ring me up to go and change it. Sometimes that is not convenient as she is 15 miles away, so we ask her to write a note saying that I will call in the morning to fix it.
Within minutes she will have forgoten that she has phoned and written a note and rings me again., and again , and again.
It is more frustrating for the carers than the person with the condition.
Strange as it seems old routines are still in the memory and work well.
Every single day for two years she walked to the care home where father in law was resident.
Three years ago he passed away and we expected her to carry on with the routine of visiting. Strangley enough she never went after his death.
I wish you well as things get worse with dementia not better.
I hope you have a good familly suport behind you.
Lady p has three sisters who basicaly don`t care about mum.

Can't edit the original post but as a former English teacher I was amazed to see a superfluous apostrophe in there. 'Its' meaning 'of its' doesn't have an apostrophe - follows the pattern of his and hers. My apologies!
