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.
Quoting: Sabrina Does Not Comply Try to carry to a doctor to get exams, if the change if only aprox the time of blow, perhaps now she develop an abcess or any like that(more urgent that). The alzheimer or dementia always start a lot before, with missing remembrances. If you can, try to get she draw a analog clock (circle with numbers). Usually a people with alzheirmer can't, coordination etc required to do that(my brother is neurologist and that is one of the tests)
