Hi all, I know that sounds a daft question .I went to see my 91 year old Mum in her care home over Xmas ,and she is drifting far away from me now.Although she only ever says 2 stock phrases over and over again ( how nice of you to come , lovely to see you ) she did used to be able to answer a question about something from the past, if she recalled it.Now on this visit ,I asked her how her sister was and she said " number 1 station rd ."Her mind was worse than ever and most of the time she wasn't aware we were there.Physically though , apart from bad legs,poor mobility,she is doing fine.So I wondered - what happens when the mind is totally gone ? does her body just soldier on until it gives up ? or will it stop sending messages to her body ? sorry if this seems morbid but in lots of ways she looks good for another five years or more but by then she will be silent. Anybody know?
