As some of you maybe aware My Mother is suffering from short term memory loss. One of the problems thats also happening is that she's decided to let other people do the thinking for her.
This isn't good as it'll make her worse and if you just look at her most of the time she'll manage to remember things. Another words trying to keep the mind active.
This morning she had a temper tantrum and spat out the dummy when I wouldn't tell her how long to do the meat for. Ten minutes earlier she had told me how to do it. I waited just continuing the garden and fifthteen minutes later she came down and proceeded to start lunch as she had done foe the last sixty odd years or so.
You feel cruel doing it and guilty but the choice is let her veg out and get worse or push her to keep the mind active. It'll be interesting when she goes to the memory clinic.
