My grandma has developed what my family and doctors believe to be alzheimer’s or side effects for a mid-sleep stroke.
She has become pretty much unable to speak apart from yes and no, and when she is angry she just shakes her head furiously instead of vocalizing what it is she is angry about.
We have tried to take her to the doctor multiple times and get her tests etc to see what the cause is and if there is something we can help, but refuses to believe anything is wrong and if we even mention something might be wrong with her mentally she does her head shake of anger and says “go now” and trys to make us leave the house.
Its extremely depressing to see her deteriorate like this and we all just want to help. How can we convince her something is wrong or atleast convince her to get tests done to see what is wrong?
