I feel so alone. I need to decide if mum needs extra help or if she is ok. She went to bed at 9pm yesterday and didn’t get up until 11am. Then she couldn’t eat anything. I made vegetable soup for her and she ate some of that and went back to bed. In the past when she has taken to her bed it’s meant she’s sick. Both time she ended up in the hospital for weeks. The first time she had a kidney infection that led to a heart attack. The second time she had double pneumonia. This time she doesn’t seem to be sick but depressed. I used to know her doctor but that doctor left. I don’t know who to call.

Her eyes are getting bad. She used to do word puzzles and read a lot of books, but she has age related macular degeneration and yesterday she had to get an other injection in her eye. She depends on the captions to understand what’s going on on tv because her hearing has gone down dramatically. She has two hearing aids but it’s not the same. I’m worried she’s very depressed.
