My wife is having a very hard time with walking. She injured her hip years ago, It pains her now. I have taken her to the Urgent care and Er's. They did xrays and a CAT scan. The hip is not broken. We tried to get her to do PT but that was a no go.But now she is just shuffling along and loses her balance at times.I finally got her to use her cane, most of the time, for all moves. But with dementia she forgets to use it or forgets where she put it. The search is then on. But it is never far.I was just wondering if this is just a progression of dementia or something else.Thanks in advance!
We can’t really know, but my bet would be that this is mostly progression of her dementia. Be prepared for the falls that will ensue. I’m so sorry, I wish I could tell you something more positive. I’m presently going through this with my husband, and the falls have caused setbacks in his cognition. Dementia is a very unkind disease.
