Poll of the Day > I'm worried about my mother right now.

(+) Yeah! (+)

For the past few days, she's been feeling dizzy, and today, it has gotten to the point where she even has trouble walking. I've had to support her to the medical center she usually goes to. Not only that, but she even has trouble remembering things. She reminds me and my siblings to do something she's told us to do just a few minutes prior. It's very worrying. Today, she had trouble remembering that my sister was in the back-seat of the car after having told her that I was going to go buy dinner for the family because she could not cook. I could not simply just leave her in the house where she was prone to falling down. She's sixty-five now, and I am worried that she is getting dementia. On our way back from the hospital, she vomited into the toilet. Her current condition is very worrying to me. Part of me feels like it's psychological stress taking a toll on her. This morning, my father yelled at her for how she was managing the household; I worry that it traumatized her to the point that her mental state has for today, at least, deteriorated to a serious degree. She also has like two kids who constantly yell at her and mistreat her. She's not eating that much. She had not eaten lunch. She barely ate anything for dinner, and she isn't eating the noodles that my father cooked for her. I am hoping that this will abate, but I still cannot stop worrying about what would happen if it didn't...

Ehhh, cancel plans and go to hospital.. sounds like she had a stroke

Also your dad bein' a dick, lulz

Not eating and folk constantly at her is worrying. She needs a stress free environment. Dizzy stuff is probably due to not eating too.

With the vomiting it doesn't sound like dementia. What did they determine at the hospital? It does sound like a serious neurological problem that needs to be checked out.

Vertigo. They said it was nothing serious, but I did not remember to mention the dementia to them.
