my grandmother had a stroke and afterward lived with us until she passed. We had a caregiver come in everyday. Anyway she developed a vocabulary that would put drunken sailors to shame after her stroke.
Sounds similar to my grandmother...minus the salty language...lol.
She lived with us, with a full time caregiver, until she passed, after her stroke.
One of the many blessings, to our family, having that time with her.
That’s what folks did, then....took in the elderly/infirm relatives. Not so much, anymore :-(
It is sad. My BIL (a pastor) is horrified that his dad is talking like this, my DH is chill about it. My understanding is it is about losing impulse control - even the most saintly among us might think a swear word in their mind when they slam their finger in a door, but they have the ability to control what comes out of their mouth. People with dementia lose that ability - and also lose the ability to come up with replacement language, so they just blurt out what comes to mind.
I hope I can remember that when the swearing is directed at me lol
My dad’s physician came from New York. After he had a stroke, she asked, “Does he always talk like this?”
(He had a Southern drawl.)
So, she ordered speech therapy for him. LOL. Actually, it was a blessing, because DAD had extra visiting nurses coming to see him. He always liked to talk with people.
