When I visited Mom this morning, she was quite lucid. This is rare as I have not been able to communicate with her for a long time. When …

About Me
My mom has had dementia for 6 years now. Finally she had to move to a NH as I can no longer look after her.

I haven't been around much lately, but wanted to stop by and give you a hug. Hope things are well for you or as good as they can be right? I think of you often. BIG HUGS....

Hi Flo, How are things going? Has your Mom leveled out at all? I'm so sorry you have such a hard time of it. Mom is doing well. Today she's in a bit of a snit but it's been much better the past two weeks. She's been going to her senior group twice a week and, aside from being tired and a little bit of "sundowning" I think it is doing her good. I am finally dealing with things a little better instead of taking them personal but I think that's b/c she's been better. I guess it's just a day to day wait and see kind of thing. That makes for a bit of stress but nothing can be done to help that. Thinking of you and sending hugs!

Little Love
I'm out spreading around a little love this morning. I hope you have a special day today filled with all good things! HUGS

Thanks for writing. Some days are a diamond and some a stone. Never know how visits are going to be, Got a call yesterday at 6:30 AM, Mom had fallen out of bed, nothing broken. I want full bed rails but the state of Va considers that restraints and will not allow. An hanging in there.

Flowers to you for Valentines Day. I know exactly how you feel. My husband is very slowly going down hill and I'm beginning to see it . Down one day and up the next. I can hardly hear him now, If I ask him to speak louder he just won't speak at all. It is breaking my heart. I'm trying not to give in to depression but I don't know how much more I can take. I love him too much. We were kids together and were/are very close. Oh well hope today at The Valentine day coffee at the NH he will enjoy it. Take care and stay well Benie

Close Dementia
Mom just moved to a nursing home for 6 months. Instead of better, she 's worst off. she's delusional and can phone non-stop during her episodes. She's confused as to where she is and cannot follow the rules. She's giving me a nervous breakdown with her phone calls and her confusion. She will not go for meals and is a handful, I am sure for the staff.

My mother has dementia and I had looked after her for 6 years until she went to a NH 6 months ago.
