ZeitSis and I communicated the wish that no heroic action be taken if the ?worst? comes to the worst.
Paliative care & that's that.
Though ZeitPater seemed a little brighter last evening, despite ZeitMater's demented efforts.
Feck me, this stuff is difficult.
Are the nurses any good? It makes a big difference (says the man whose GF is a psychogeriatric nurse).
I don't want to imagine what you're going through, especially seeing as I see the Testermater slipping backwards into what I suspect is Burgundy related dementia syndrome. I have to talk to her in short sentences because she forgets what I'm talking about after a few seconds and then goes off on on her own tangent, but continually says it's because her left ear's deaf and she doesn't hear everything. Not very pleasant; only three years ago she was a professor, now she seems incapable of holding a conversation about anything more complicated than the weather. Trouble is, Lady Tester knows too much about the onset of dementia and sees a lot of the signs. Scares the tulip out of me TBH. I guess a lot of us will have to deal with parents 'losing it' in the end.

Just been doing my expenses for the last few months. At one point I started using TPD to see if I could see why I was missing a receipt. Turns out it was the 28th October when we had that big storm.

Yes it is frightening.
There is a theory that the more gifted amongst us are better at holding off the symptoms until a critical point is passed.
Lovely day today. Has a noisy sporty motorbike following me this morning. I may have disappointed him by not going fast enough for him on the twisties. Fortunately he overtook me fairly quickly. I think I am biking well within the limits i.e. pedestrianly
Sore throat starting - bloody infectious permies. Fortunately armed with a nice bottle of Caribbean casked Belvennie to fend off the nasties.
If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

My brothers are ignoring the fact my mother is getting worse by the day dementia wise.
