Feeling helpless

I popped across to see Edna today after work. She says she is going to the hospital tommorrow. But she also says she always feels better on days when she has seen someone - but that it didnt happen very often. When I asked if she was going to the common room in the mornings I got a load of twaddle that she did admit was probably not true after I went through it logically with her.
But the bottom line I beleive is that she wont make the effort to go to the common room.

I thonk I am meant to go across more often to talk to her. But Maybe she is telling porkies about not going to the common room. Its quite possible.

I feel helpless to sort this out - becasue I cant. The bottom line is unless she is prepared to help herself - no-one else can help her. But I still dont know if this is really her being manipulative or the dementia coming out on top.

I am very fed up about this at the moment
