[quote:Sabrina Does Not Comply:MV81MDY0NDAyXzkyODAzNDIxX0NCODdGNkEx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 56025667:MV81MDY0NDAyXzkyODAzMzM4X0FFMEY2OUMx] All you can do is watch, don't argue. Spend that time. [/quote] Well, I do. This has actually been going on longer than the head injury, but the falling down seemed to have made it worse. It's a hard thing to watch somebody's mind erode, especially somebody you care about. I don't argue with her, I just listen and try to help her be physically comfortable. I don't know what to do about her mind. [/quote]
Original Message
It's like a death. The old person you knew is no longer there. It feels like something else has inhabited their body.
My mom is so confused and so angry. Especially at me.
She was very vital and clear headed until about a week ago when she hit her head bad falling down. Refused medical treatment. Now, her whole personality has changed.
She's in her late 70's and not jabbed. Her husband is blowing off my concerns. Maybe it's just dementia and not the blow to the head. But the anger is concerning.
