My Dad was suffering from Sundowning near the end. He would get agitated, and angry. Sadly, my Dad was a Trump supporter, but will be voting Biden now.
Blocking the door, seeing people by my car in the driveway...
Hasn't been doing that lately though.
Now she literally sleeps 24-48 hours, then up sometimes same. Often times during the awake periods she'll have full conversations, sometimes with multiple people...who aren't there. Some sound like strangers, others relatives(long gone)
The bad days her whole demeanor changes, her face is sunken in, walks like a hunched over b-rate movie monster... and she is a lot more delusional. Spends 24 hours moving(hiding) things...yelling at ghosts she claims are stealing her stuff, asking where all these kids came from, don't their mothers know they're here? Yelling at them to go home.
Lately that isn't as bad as it was...now she occasionally laughs at them, has "quieter" conversations.
She uses rolls of TP, find it hidden all over. Mixes all sorts of things in grocery bags(whatever she finds) and sometimes manages to mix them with cat litter(right from the box).
Man, I could write a book.
Memory care in a nursing home around here is around 8k a month.
It's stressful, as I'm not exactly young either, and being my mom...it's hard to watch the decline 24/7.
I've known and read about others who have experienced it. That it sometimes gets...violent.
If it gets to that stage...I'm out.
God bless your Dad. I lost my mother to dementia years ago.
At the end of her days it was heart breaking to see that she didn’t know who any of us were.
I’ve worked in a number of nursing homes and it’s sad to see this but one has to be patient and pray.
As for Biden, I hope he has a stroke and suffers painfully and for a long time.
He deserves it. He deserves it for the lives he’s ruined and the destruction he’s done to this nation.
