I went o see Edna after work today. She seemed a bit off. She was telling me that Fosters is being taken over by the council - which I dont believe at all. But I also found out (but only when the home care team turned up) that she was out of medication . There were two empty MDS's from Evergreen but no sign of an MDS with the Rivastigmine in at all. I dint think they are yet combined into one - so I am wondering how many doses she has missed. That could be why she seemed a bit off today.
So tommorrow I need to ring the pharmacy and find out what is going on with her drugs.
She has also agreed officially that I wil do her shopping for her. Alma told me weeks ago that the girlds would no longer havt time to do her shopping - plus we had concerns about whether the orders she put in would be appropriate. DShe has given me a list whihc I have some concerns about - but I will get what she has asked for and review when I do the next list for her.
So this is the first real increase in my direct involvment. the first long term commitment.

This blog started off as 'Alzheimers and me' then changed to 'Dementia and how I coped' when I learned about Lewy Body Dementia. The final title reflects the illness and its effect on patient and carer. It also recognises that the patient has a life that needs to be recognised and valued
