There's lots of research into COVID and brain injuries https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01693-6The whole think is suspect if you ask me, firstly she says 'they don't know how covid affects the brain' since when has it ever been reported anywhere that covid gives people brain injuries, secondly, she says to the woman near the beginning with a poorly husband ' you don't need to panic about bills', so how much is your ITV contract?? Also why doesn't she get someone to shave him regularly, smarten him up a bit, he's still human, & why does the son not have his toys in his bedroom, ok a few toys downstairs, but there were loads.....also now she's saying covid caused vascular dementia, really???
Personally I think she should put him in a home, it's all very well caring for him at home but it's too much for her, she even said it's overwhelming.
I do smell covid bullshit though.
You would've been horrified if you had watched it. I saw it the other evening. Derek was literally shown struggling to get up from his bed, in his underwear. Then she was telling us (and showing) how his bed sheets need to be washed 7 times a day. Just far too much info that did not need to be broadcast. I think she could still raise awareness of the case and the importance of carers, etc without having to sacrifice Derek's dignity.
Thatās what I struggle with - we can imagine what itās like. I can see no good reason for talking about the sheets or filming him in his underwear - we get it, lots of us have been carers.
If you actually read the article(not assuming you havenāt) away down near the bottom itās basically stated that itās not just covid this happens with, basically any infection can cause changes to brain cells.
Yes Di I think her name was. She said she stays over sometimes and sleeps in Billy's room.
That really is too much information.
I havenāt watched it but maybe it was to set the scene and garner more sympathy. Poor kids though; dad very poorly, constantly being filmed and having to live in filth
I think sheās always been like that. I saw a clip of her talking about the first time Ben Shepherd (?) got in her car and there was half eaten sandwiches and stacks of rubbish
It looked like a normal family home to me
Youād think that as he has a weak immune system the house would be spotless. I appreciate she wonāt have time to do with working, looking after the kids and Derek but she should defo get a cleaner.
She is. I'd love to know what her relationship is/was like with her Mother and Father. Something has always been 'off' with Garraway imo. I think she may have ADD or something like that. Certainly when watching her interview someone she loses focus very quickly to what is being said and constantly interrupts.
