“Joe does seem more sedate.”
He may be more sedate, but you must know from your stepmum that over time it always gets worse, never better. I suppose medication could be responsible for the slurring, but some of his word salads have been quite amazing. Lyin little dog faced pony soldier comes to mind.

You are correct, except for the ending heh heh. But yes, we tried all sorts of medications to calm her. I think it was about 2-3 years in the beginning that she was just crazier than normal. Like she couldn’t get a stain out of my dad’s shirt rubbing with her fingers. Couldn’t figure out the washing machine, the coffee maker.
HA.. one time she made coffee with about 3 different products from the pantry, like kool aid, onion soup, and some other powder.
But she could never be controlled. She set fire to the kitchen trying to kill bugs, threw chairs at my dad, threatened to kill both my sister and I, with a big knife.
So, that’s why Joe confuses me... how do they control him?
My sweet MIL also had Alzheimer’s and she got violent, too and very jealous.
So, my point is.. he either does have it, which I think he does because word salads are hard to do spontaneously, and that “play the record player” seemed spontaneous. Or he’s gonna get an Oscar, a Tony, Golden Globe, Critic’s Choice, and the Huabio lol (Chinese award) and a posh pad in Gitmo!
