Maureen needs to be seen by her GP this morning after another dreadful night.

She had just laid down on the sofa after ‘being on a boat’ for the last five hours.

She is awake now: looking for her mum and frightened about being left on her own

I am asking the GP’s advice on how to manage her current presentation.

I am also formally requesting a review of her diagnosis .

Is her dementia predominantly vascular, Alzheimer’s or something else?

A Best Interest Meeting in a month’s time is no help to me in the middle of the night.

We also both need to know if our coughs and colds are anything more sinister!
