I got Mum to agree to come to a 'memory clinic' with me tomorrow to see if anything can be done to improve her's. It remains to be seen if she will actually come...
She actually remembered and did come! But she forgot what time I was picking her up and kept ringing all morning saying 'are you coming yet' even though I kept telling her I'd be there at 12:30 :(
It was an interesting visit. The main thing I learned was that the ct scan she had a few months ago showed evidence of an old, slight stroke in the area that effects speech. They took blood tests and we go back next week for results of those. Meanwhile, the social worker is going to organise help with gardening. They think that she has early dementia but certainly isn't bad enough to recommend a nursing home. Just as well, because she wouldn't go anyway!
