Your nan is no doubt suffering from dementia. I'll see what info I can find on it throughout the night and post some links for you later.

As for your sister, I assume there is a separation in the family and your nan is the only living link? Can you get your sister's contact details from your nan and establish contact yourself? That would be the best thing to do and as soon as possible, because if your nan is starting to suffer dementia, there's no telling if she will remember those contact details for very long.

I'll see what I can find for you...

Emmie, it sounds like a classic case of alzimer's ( errr spell check hehe)are you able to take her to the Dr? he will give her some tablets to take, you also need to keep a close eye on her,  if she is forgetting she may forget the most important things (ie) emergancy phone numbers etc. Although it could be something simple that the Dr can clear up with tablets.  Good luck

Best Wishes Blond.

Firstly its so hard to read that. I really cant make much sence of it with no punctuation.

If its what I think, sounds like dementia. She needs to see someone. That is more than just forgetting things...

I can totally understand your fear and concern over your Nan
Spend as much time as you can with her it is precious time. It may just have been an off day for her, we all have them!!!!!
Don't want to know any details but just wondering how old your sister is and if she is over age how can your Mum influence your not being able to see her

Ok I totally understand now
I was thinking she was a lot older
Have you been to Citizens Advice about seeing what can be done so you can get to see your sister, surely its important for her to keep up contact too even if its not through your Mum

Hi there.

Its hard to watch a loved one acting this way but perhaps she was just having a bad day.  But you know the older we get the harder it is for us to get the grips with life.  My nan forget things all the time and gets v.confused.  If I were you I would spend extra time with her and concentrate on what you have and not what you might loose.  I dont mean that to sound harsh but as she is still with you then dont upset yourself about something that has not happend yet.  It wastes valuable time.  You sound like you are a strong person and have a lot to cope with anyway.   Can you not see your sister without your nan?  Chin up for now and enjoy your time with your nan.  Take care xx

Hi.  I agree with the others, take her to the doc, see what he/she says.  It may be something or nothing and if it is something then he/she will treat it.  Spend extra time with her.  As for your sister and without knowing the details are you and your sister not old enough to make these decisions for yourself, without your Mum saying no?  Kastol x
