Thank you my brother @Jacques I will have a look xx

Also I had to have a Fistula mapping in my arm ready for the dialysis machine in the near future which made us start thinking

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

yes i read that post @Shaz51 my mum will need dialisis in the next few years, her kidneys are failing too, do you have a dialisis unit in your town? we have one in mine but mum will have to travel 1 hour 1 way to get to a unit that has space. so many people have dialisis now, i hope it works for you.

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

The specialist said I can do the dialysis machine in my own home @Jacques

Hope your mum is ok , and you can become her carer

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

oh bless you @Shaz51

I know that I have been absent..

I have needed to be..

I want to reassure you that people with dementia remember old quotes out of the blue and usually do not apply at the time that one would expect...She might be remembering a conversation in her mind from the past....

I have experience of dementia with a friend who can come out with something so direct that it could be deemed as hurtful from another..

Anything that you hear....even if directed at you is a contortion of her memory and her illness..

You must remember this...

Sophia with love xx
