Mother and tv

   My Mother did have it ... and she does have dementia at a fairly developed stage. There can be many things imagined by someone with dementia, but have you seen a doctor for diagnosis of that?

   I've watched people with serious dementia (where my Mother is at) and their reactions can vary tremendously. Some I've seen seem to be happy all of the time. Others are very distant. And yet some others are very crabby most of the time.

   I doctor is the best place to start. Don't let the word Psychiatrist scare you. That might be the best place after you see your primary doctor. You do need a professional trained opinion ... and maybe some tests.

   As long as there's no violence by your mum ..... everything should be very workable with a solution.

   Have you considered having the macular degeration treated? My mother went to three of the treatment (maybe 5-years ago). She was a little stubborn, didn't like wearing the sunglasses and head coverings, or having to have someone drive her there. So, she told me she's not going anymore. It's not helping her vision. I told her it's to prevent further damage - not to improve vision. She said ..... she's stopping ... and she did.

   Good luck on the re-assessment.

   I hope the dementia she has is not too stressing on you or your family. It can be ... but it depends so much on the dementia individual.

   Wishing you the best.
