Constantly wants to tell me about the “old lady” next door.
She went from gray hair shoulder length, to red short curly hair.
Hoyer lift.......nightly sitting up all night........
All of this viewed through bathroom window while peeing middle of night.
I use same bathroom twice a night.
Neighbors blinds have NEVER BEEN OPEN IN TWO YEARS I HAVE LIVED HERE.
Today, she asked me, where is the “ Macrema “ curtain I had in the window???????
No macrema since 1970s in our house......
I'm no expert, but, from what I've read and seen it is common to see things like delusions, hallucinations, and sleep disorder with people who have dementia. My LO would report things to me and ask me if they were real. Sometimes, she would tell me things seem to be like a dream to her. She also had times she slept too much and times she could not sleep, for which medication helped.
I'd get her checked out to make sure of what's going on.
In any event, your mom needs a proper dementia evaluation by her doctor in order to stop guessing and know the truth. If she's unwilling to be tested, then I can say I DO think you're right............mom is definitely exhibiting signs of dementia, based on what I've seen with my own mother and other family members who have been formally diagnosed.
