My mum 80, was diagnosed in 2022 with PSP and it has been a fairly rapid decline. I lived with her and used to shower her before work and came home at lunch time to get her lunch.
However a fairly bad fall June 2023 rendered me unable to give her the care required, so have found a lovely care home, close by, where I visit daily after work. Although 1/2 my wage tops up the monthly bill. It is just me, no siblings apart from steps, that cant/wont give the same support.
She has very limited mobility, incontinent and suffers constant dizziness 24/7, this is making her feel fed up and hoping her end is sooner than later.
Strangely enough, she erupts into fits of giggles that she cant explain, she was never a giggler or laughed a lot, so that is nice to see and laugh with her.
She like many was a very active woman, never sitting still. When she was younger always had a slight head wobble, wondering if this was a pre curser. She has had a couple of bad knocks to her head in the past.
I just wish her dizziness could be rectified to give her some quality of life for whatever she has left.
Wishing all peace in whatever form that comes in.
