Thursday morning I went with my MIL to see her GP for the results for the tests and scan she had done. Well I can not remember the name of what has happened to her brain because she has left her bloood pressure high for so long. But it was or should of been a wake up call for her to take her meds now. Will she take them WHO knows she can be stubbin.
She has a thinning of the linning around her brain and the blackouts and turns she is having has been a sign of this happening. Now her GP asked if she had had any more "No" was the answer. GUESS what when we had left the GP office she tells me she felt unwell the whole time we were there, I give up.
After taking to my DD she tells me next time she is going in she will not let her much loved GM LIE tp the GP.
I think we need to have all my DH's family to sit down and have a talk, my DD and I think my MIL is starting to show signs of demsurre[can't spell sorry]
We have noticed that she is unable to stay on one thing and has lost focus on most things she does. And she has becomes very angry at nothing and what ever we talk about has to be what she wants other wise she shuts you out.
Now she is only 76yrs old but I have seen this in my DGM and my DD. Maybe she does not show it as much when she is home but when out shopping she can't hide it, I was ready to scream at her on Thursday and I am closer to her then my own mother.
I worry she is going to lie to the family and say nothing is wrong then put the meds in the cupboard and forget to take them.
As I told her if you want to have a stroke keeping doing the things you are doing and you may be baby sitting the 3 year old and have the stroke what happens then?
Sorry this is so long.
