Poor bone density

Good morning My mum of 89 was diagnosed with psp 2 years ago ,although I think she had it for some time before that .

She managed to fracture her upper arm just by sitting down ,yet another fracture for her to deal with .her eye sight is not great ,but we have one of her lenses blacked out .

Her speech is getting so bad now ,even I find it hard to understand,her mobility is next to nothing now

It is a real possibility that she won't be able to go back to the residential home she loves so much .this disease is just so awful

My heart is at breaking point ,I'm not sure how much longer I will have my dear mum 😥

Hello

It's such a difficult situation to witness and basically feeling helpless.

Some days I wish that I could wave a wand and make it all get better.

One has to take it a day at a time, savouring every minute still together.

Wishing you all the best. Xxx
