      My Mum had dementia with Lewy Bodies. She would just go away for a few minutes. I never pointed it out I just waited until she came back. Her COPD took her before it became too bad. Nowadays almost 70 I worry.

      @@dsalnorcal1434 Indeed it does suck. My mother is in the last stage of dementia. She hasn't known I am her son or my name for over two years. The past year and a half, she's been bedbound, double incontinent and must be spoonfed. Four months ago, hospice gave her one week to live. I am losing my mother, one neuron at a time.

    I'm living this same scenario with my 96yr old Dad, only he still knows who I am but, upon awakening like Ed - my dad is so confused for about 15 minutes then he calms down - He keeps looking for His room in this house that he's owned and lived in since 1970. Every day I can't imagine what a nightmare this must be for him. Frankly, it scares the crap out of me because I could be next - My two Sons are probably freaking out lol. One Day at a Time! Your videos are excellent examples of what life is like and ways to handle the fog for them!

      I don't know if anyone has told you lately, but you are doing a wonderful job. Family members who care for loved ones are remarkable. I'm a retired nurse and in my retirement I took care of an elderly man with dementia in his home, come and go. His family didn't value me. He became too confused to safely live on his own. Instead of stepping up they fired me and put him in a facility.😢

We sold our Car as no safe for Ray to drive anymore, however I could still drive but if the car was in the garage Ray would ignore his Ban and just carry on “No body tells me when I can or cannot drive”

Patience is the hardest part and repeatedly telling them they are safe. Good job. Enjoy him becuz someday your gonna miss these days once hes gone. Mine died Sept 30th, 2022.

    Dan, you are a blessing to Grandpa. I saw the change in his face when you slowly and clearly explained who you are, who he is, where he lives, that is his room, etc… I see that you love your Dad very much and you calmed him down. God Bless The Salinger Family.

    My dad is 83 and thankfully he has all of his faculties (so far). But I see my dad in yours and it makes me stronger knowing what you’re going through with your own pop. I pray I won’t ever have to face what you or your pop are. Father’s day is coming up, and both you and your dad deserve the father of the year awards for all that you do and your father for what he is faced with every day.

    Oh no. How terribly sad. Dad, your smile and cheecky laugh Dan brings you with his explanation, dries my tears when I see you so confused. Dan handled this really well. We love you Dad and send huge hugs from New Zealand.

    My great uncle is 86 with dementia and he's gotten to the point now that he thinks his daughter is stealing his stuff out of his house. It's sad to see him go through it.

    I've said this before but these clips really do help me for some reason. I help look after my father who in a couple of months will be 100. He's physically fine and can still mow the lawn and with guidance do almost everything but the dementia is so difficult and unpredictable. This clip reminds me of a daily episode when in the evening he says "Well I'll be off to my home" and when I guide him to his bedroom he sees his shoes all lined up says oh yes, this is my room and the relief is visible in his face that he knows where he is and doesn't have to walk home. That line of shoes is invaluable.
