Having read about some of some of what our forum pals have had to contend with this month was not good & was hoping our family would get a pass but no. My Mum who although is getting on in years has suffered a silent stroke or other sort of cerebovascular event an was rushed into A&E last night. In a weak and very confused state which is not nice to witness but the hospital team have been great. They are not sure what if any permanent damage has occurred but she is going to be assessed later so fingers crossed. Don't want to overthink things at the moment but it's hard not too

Sorry to hear this about your Mum Ashley, the main thing is that she was rushed to A&E and is now in the best place to be treated.
I hope all goes well for her.

Whilst checking out the terminology here it implied possible links between vascular dementia and the initial medical event but I'm sure you've already done a deal of reading up about it. Care packages are also referred to and I guess finding a medic or person in a similar situation you can have a good conversation with about it will be on your mind. I'm sure you're not alone in your uncertainty, it's not something we tend to talk about much or receive any training for in my experience.

Just when you think you have things back under control life kicks you in the nuts. A few weeks after my last post Mum had some further tests and was shocked to be told she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukaemia, Five weeks after that she had passed away and I find myself arranging a funeral Just wanted to say the Hospice and McMillan nurse support are amazing and have helped me and my family so much. I tend to keep things bottled up and wasn't in a good place for a while but one of the team in particular could see what was going on and talked me through a difficult few weeks. Look after your loved ones but make sure you make time to look after yourself.
