So, last weekened wifey started staying up all night and 're-organising' the bedroom. But her mobility improved so I wasn't too concerned about the sudden desire to keep her handbag with her ALL THE TIME. In fact, I went to cuddle her in bed, but couldn't becasue the handbag was in-between us. I had to laugh. I didn't laugh for long. Wifey had convinced herself that I was 'interfering' with her medication. Unbeknown to me, she had 'appropriated' her medicine and was hiding it from me.
When I took her for a shower, dexamtheasone fell out of her knickers and slippers. She wasn't aware that I'd discovered it, but the paranoia escalated. By Monday she was telling the GP that she was fearfull that I was going to harm her.
GP diagnosed possible steroid psychosis. Prescribed Diazapam. Wifey wouldn't touch anything I had been near. Started to scream at me to get out of the room. Wouldn't let me make her drinks or food.
Then tonight she had her first absent seizure. As she recovered she was exceptionally distressed as she realised she couldn't speak. Then she became aware I was next to her, cuddling her, trying to make her feel better - and then she was screaming, pulling away from me.
I don't know how I've managed to make this all sound so clinical - and I have no idea how I sound as if I'm taking this well.
At least we have and psychotic drugs and her sister to administer them. I'm sleeping on the landing (so wifey at least trips over me before she tries to make a run for the stairs)
Feeling pretty damn shit.
