Mate, holy hell, that is a lot for her and you to go through. I really appreciate you sharing so much when you didn’t have to. No wonder so much is deteriorating so significantly for her, I mean shit a NECROTIC JAW?! over 15 years and everything else piling on top more and more. After a point I can totally see why she would’ve spiralled psychologically as well. My mum is very fortunate to have no chronic issues other than a sensitive gut (eats very healthily but she also doesn’t exercise much). I suspect when that sort of rapid decline starts setting in many of us will find it harder to keep up the strength needed to deal with it all.
I feel for your frustration, if the patient themselves refuses there’s only so much you can do. It’s definitely a silver lining that at least your dad and you are united on this. I hope your mum at least will get to a better emotional space even as her body declines…
