Needing prayers.

I posted this in politics but could use prayers. Don’t think I can type it out again


Thanks friend
People who have never seen this don’t know how it can go bad fast.
My dad has been my best friend since I was 15 when he said “I’ve raised you, you can still live here but it’s time for you to be a man and make your own decisions “ he and mom have been that couple who’ve been together since 1962 and are always together. July 3rd he asked mom if they were married. Then snapped out of it. These little spouts of confusion have gotten longer but he snaps out. By Monday this week he had progressed to full on confusion. He called me and by the time I got to his house (30 minutes) he was interrogating mom. Demanding to know where my “real mother was”. He slapped her and pulled her hair. He’s never been a violent or angry man but he’s not himself anymore. I had to restrain him physically till the police got there. Again. Reasonably normal on July 2 this year.
It’s a huge problem that’s hanging out there with both candidates with Biden being in the lead towards the end result.

I apologize for the personal stuff.

Slice, my mom had non-Alzheimer's dementia. It eventually took her via a brain bleed. Your mom is facing a long road. I will pray for you as best I know how and and particularly for your mom. No one can explain to you what this disease does to a loved one. Some of it is inconceivable. PLEASE get your mother to get help and quick. My mom got mean but never violent. It's not him. If you want to talk brother you can call me at anytime. Day or night, you know that. Hopefully for your mother and your families sake, this will pass sooner rather than later. My mom lasted 6 years after diagnosis. I am so sorry. If you don't have my work cell, text me and let me know and I will get it to you.

Still praying. Being on the vent can cause some people to be really agitated for a while after. Don't let yourself feel like things can't get better, cause they can. Just breathe and pray.

My Mom's Mom. My Dad and Mom took care of her she had Alzheimer's we was lucky she never really got mean she passed 3 years ago and now my Dad's Mom has dementia and my Mom and Dad are taking care of her she acts like a child some. Both had doctors that come to the house and help but neither was mean and lucky because they can be. I haven't had to help or been around men with it I could see where it could be different. We are lucky right now my Dad's brother is taking care of my Grandmother while he is in the hospital. If I ever get to that age and have any of those I will put it in a will that my son is not going to take care of me I will go to and nursing home I don't want that burden on him. I have seen it wear my parents out taking care of them. But it's what they want.

It is so tough! My grandmother had Alzheimer's and it lasted years after diagnosis. My aunt, uncle, and dad didn't want her living on her own but she refused to go to assisted living, so she rotated between the three houses. I was in middle and high school at the time, so I helped my parents when it was their turn. It was fine at the beginning, but as things progressed, it got mentally tough for the rest of us and having to finally make the difficult decision to put her in an assisted living at the end.

6 Years of caring for my mom took 15 years off my dad's life. It is brutal. Bless you and your family Rocy, I hope your Dad is doing better.

He is it's just the pain killers have him drunk and he thanks the nurses and doctors are trying to kill him he doesn't drink or ever had to take the amount of pain killers they had to give him. When he had brain surgery he didn't do this but he was awake just really relaxed but he never hardly takes pain killers when he does it's week ones and they make him sick and he sleeps. They are wanting to take a tube out of him to help him breath and he won't let them . I talked to him and told him he was doing good and they are helping him and he was telling me they are trying to kill me. My mom gave him jello and he spit it out said they was trying to kill him. He is just drunk on pain killers I guess.

Well, if the doc says he is doing good then he is. Maybe they will back off on the pain meds during the day today. Glad he's a fighter!
