My daughter noticed a swollen arm, some time ago, my freind was smelling her, (she attended to herself) and she now also is coughing but still does not want help. It is very difficult.
I have tried doctors but they cannot do much, and we are trying to do a will ...... lost for words she is becoming very irritable etc etc etc......
Thank you Katherine, I haven't been sure what to say or do. Faye is still in denial, not getting any better, still doing her own dressings etc., cant be safe as blood covered paper hankerchieives used and not the tidiest of people!!! (Other people family mainly have mentioned that she does not look well). I also noticed her left ankle was starting to swell?? I have asked her to go to the doctor, she gets very irritable. She drives erattically. Careless in the kitchen, knocks herself and shouts in anger at her own clumsiness.. Accident waiting to happen. I love her greatly but she is changing, I'm hoping to have a Civil Partnership to tidy up some paperwork should either of us pass away. I enquired and there is a waiting list until Nov??? At present she is in no hurry as there is nothing wrong with her. But I am extrement worried. Do we go down the safe-guarding/neglect route - someone mentioned in a low voice.
It is so difficult to know what the best is?? . I want to enlarge the writing but unsure how to do this. Sorry if its difficult to read.
