It took us a while to get Jens but the funeral was still booked in advance it that helps seeing as they are taking about 4 weeks

Yeah we’ve just got a date booked for funeral at start of July and also council office on Monday to finally register death. Seems that “you must register a death within 5 days” is just something they say to stress people out.

A rather odd occurrence today. One of MiLs friends has been calling regularly and Mrs Axe hasnt responded assuming they would be calling for something more to be done
Anyway, she did call and the enquiry was about Mrs Axe’s health. MiL had reported Mrs Axe was seriously ill, had stopped driving and I had started to take lessons (yep I haven’t ever got round to learning to drive yet). Mrs Axe assured the friend she is in fine health, still driving and I am not learning
This didnt strike me as the kind of thing to expect from a dementia suffered, although we know and I have reported here that she has always had an overactive mind and reaching rather bizarre conclusions.

Does seem a strange thing to be saying.

Weird. UTI? I think some people get delusions from dementia but not come across it myself.
But maybe it’s just “she’s not visited for ages, must not be able to drive, add up 2+2 and get 57”.

My other thought was attention seeking as my friend’s mother will exaggerate the afflictions of family to get attention for herself.

Jda. There was also a note in the carers book to say she had said her family had abandoned her. Carers did say she noted the family work full time.
I do suspect some attention seeking at play.
I do get that she is lonely but only so many hours each day

My mum did that from time to time: she’d tell family and neighbours that I’d washed my hands of her, was not going to have anything to do with her, and she’d never see her grandchildren again. Another time she told people that we’d said she wasn’t welcome at Christmas. That was after she told me she didn’t want to come to us and wanted to stay in her own house.
You just have to ignore it and trust that others know you better.
