Mum seems to be deteriorating by the day. She can't wash or dress herself. She can't get out of bed or stand up from a chair. When I ask her to move her leg a certain way like mum move your left foot forward. she thinks she's doing it but nothing happens. She can shuffle along when I support her but is extremely unsteady and her left leg seems weaker than her right. She seems vacant like the lights are on but nobody's home. I can't explain it. If you talk to her she answers and seems lucid but doesn't engage in conversation. I would not dare leave her in the house on her own and just don't know what to do. My aunt and uncle asked me today if I didn't think it might be an idea to get her into hospital where they can assess her properly. I really don't want to do this but know that maybe it has to happen. I really wish she had been able to get into the hospice but that hasn't been possible. My nerves are in tatters. If she felt ill I wouldn't hesitate in getting her to hospital but she's eating well, doesn't have any pain and says she doesn't feel confused. I just don't know what to do!
