What Are The Signs Of Dementia?
My mother is in a nursing home and has had a leg amputated from right above the knee. On her other leg, she had 2 toes amputated. She is 80 yrs. old and already has signs of dementia. The doctors have decided that giving her so many antibiotics is not helping her and they are stopping that treatment. They would not give us a time frame for her to pass. Is there any way of knowing this? The amputations are not healing at all.
