I'm going through this now with my mother. She was diagnosed with dementia about 4 yrs ago. She lives with me and I have seen and lived the different stages she's gone through. So sad to see the decline. Although I have 3 siblings I am doing this alone with some caregivers during the day while I work. It consumes your whole life but I wouldn't have it any other way. I would never abandone her in her time of need.
We went through some verbal assault. We did see my MIL swing at an ambulance crew BUT she was in pain and they were trying to move her. It's a hard road for sure. Wishing you the best.
Please let everyone know how dangerous human bites are. We have a lot of bacteria in our mouths that can cause crazy bad infections. If you get bitten and it breaks the skin even a little bit, clean it well with antibacterial soap and use antibacterial ointment several times a day. Keep a VERY close eye on it, especially on the third day. If it's still swollen, more red than pink or has any kind of fluid, even clear, coming from it, go straight to the doctor. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. This knowledge courtesy of my G'ma Ruth. 😕🤷🥴
So true! Years ago I knew a kid who collided with another kid on the baseball field. He got a cut on his forehead that he thought was from the ball or glove. A few days later the cut began to turn to gangrene. The doc realized that he had been cut by the other kid's teeth.
My grandma had dementia as did my aunty and now my mum ! I'm feeling very sad. I'm the only family near by . Everyone else are at least an 8 hr drive away. Mum doesn't believe she has it. Thanks for explaining that ( I have watched all your videos) she said she had eye problems ( again thanks) we are now waiting for an MRI , then memory clinic . You are so knowledgeable, Thank you .

Valuable insight
Thank you.
What is the difference between Dementia and Alzimers? I know they aren’t the same but the symptoms seem to be similar.

It is hard to say.
