[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it was hard to detect at first but kept building and then snowballed. I can’t tell if you have some guilt about AL or if that made it progress faster, but to allay your concerns, mom is home with me and it was the same pattern. We’re at the point where she needs one on help help with bathing and bathroom so we’re further along, but looking back I think things were worse than I realized. It was my own blindness, Mom’s compensatory actions obscuring her condition, and just some refusal from both of us to see how bad it was getting. Hindsight being what it is, I would assume she needs more help than she’s getting and she probably needs to transition to a more hands on environment where aides will help her bathe, set her up for the day with entertainment and help her with tasks she’s not able to do anymore.
