Only reason I was thinking of a Psychologist was to see if something could be done about her fear which is a safety concern, especially for me. It’s very hard to lift her as she fights me. She tells me to slow down when we’re stopped. She was sitting early this morning and she says “I want to sit down.” I tell her you are sitting, “I want to stand up” I ask why “I don’t know” She said “Don’t pay any attention to me” ?????????

@jakedduck1 it must be so difficult for you, I’m sorry. Is your Mom on any new medication? Sometimes medications can add to confusion. Ask her doctor if she can use milder pain meds.
Ask about a gerontologist
Get a referral for physical therapy
Focus on safety for both of you
Take care of yourself!
Will you let me know how everything goes this week? Please
