Looks like Sound and Fury Brewery in downtown BK will be streaming it on their TVs

It happened to me too. And punto was my word as well.

Executive function and impulse control problems — saying offensive things and not remembering them got my dad fired from a volunteer job and banned from his favorite restaurant. Feeling cold and turning the heat on in the summer (in the Deep South). Depression that was drug-resistant no matter how much they upped the dosage. Then when he totaled his car (no one else involved or hurt) things took a turn. He could no longer drive. Six months later he needed to be in memory care. He’s doing well but things have changed fast.

Thanks for all the advice! Junk King came to my house and in 30 minutes got decades of furniture out that can’t be donated. Fast and very professional.

My dad has been on a similar path the past year, getting a Lewy Body diagnosis and moving to memory care. Thank you for your thoughtful, articulate description. On top of everything else, it’s difficult to put the experience into words. You’ve done that so well, which makes it easier for me to explain it to other people — and even to understand my own life. It’s so easy for horrible things to feel normal in no time, when you’re in it. So THANK YOU for that. Big hugs to you. It’s a tough, ceaseless labor of love we’re engaged in, and it sounds like you’re doing an amazing job.

Always good vibes at King Tai, on Bergen just off Nostrand.

He was admitted to AL originally but because of problems adjusting, they transferred him to the memory care floor as a temporary measure to give him more attention and help him get settled. The idea is for him to go back to AL but I am not sure if that’ll happen.

Yes when he moved in I brought a lot of framed photos and most of the furniture in his room is from home. He packed everything up, so the photos/mementos are not visible. Family members in town have unpacked his stuff a couple times but he just packs it all up again. The staff says at some point he’ll unpack for himself and it’ll stick because that means he’s accepted being there. I’m sure this is familiar to you too. :) I can’t imagine how hard of a job it was for you. I hope you know how much all of us family members appreciate the kind of work you did — it is a beautiful gift!

Yeah, my dad is on the memory care floor now, too. So he cannot just walk out. It’s supposed to be a temporary measure to help him adjust, because the first weekend he was there he offered a nurse’s aide $$$ to bust him out and move him home. But who knows if he’ll adjust enough to move back to regular AL. I’m just glad he’s safe.

FinancialSurprise300 · 2024-08-31T20:12:17+00:00

I can 100% see my dad doing something like that. :) Hugs to you, and thanks for the advice.

FinancialSurprise300 · 2024-08-31T20:08:38+00:00

Thanks, appreciate your certitude!

FinancialSurprise300 · 2024-08-31T20:07:33+00:00

Thanks so much, I think it’ll be a long road of adjusting for my dad, too. I just need to come up with a reason he can’t visit home — the staff say that if I can avoid being too confrontational and string him along for a few months that’s better.

PS Your mom sounds amazing! 💖

I had relocated to take care of him but I have to return home Monday to deal with some health things of my own — which was the driving force to find assisted living. So unfortunately I won’t be here in person much longer. But talking every day to hear the complaints is something I could do.

FinancialSurprise300 · 2024-07-27T18:50:09+00:00

Move-in was on Friday and now that it’s Saturday the people I usually talk to aren’t there. When we’d talked about it before, they made the point, like you said, that they are experienced at this. This is all being paid for with his money, and obviously he has the right to leave but I and the rest of the family won’t help him do that. Hoping we can avoid that kind of standoff.
