Dementia Sucks

[captainhook455]

On the other hand the person who has dementia dosen't know they have it. My father shaved and showered every morning. One day he stopped. He kept his nails trimmed, didn't do that anymore. I told him I had to put double keyed deadbolts on the doors to keep him from wandering outside. He said well don't let me go.

I thought he had forgotten who I was, but when they came to get me when I had a stroke, he cried. I came home and saw him I collapsed at his feet and cried.

My wife has sundowners, can't remember eating 2hrs ago or most anything from 2hrs ago. She can be aggravating and tries to draw me into what ever crazy shit she is talking about.

Her family doesn't want her to go to a nursing facility, but no one is willing to take her to their house.
