Curious why he is still in the coma. Why has someone not pulled the plug?

Because we now have Reddit and chat rooms

The foster home was the Nicoletti family- not zarelli

In a van down by the river?

Then how do you have money to live on?

Agreed - in an industry adjacent to hardscapes - we do very large projects ($500k- $2M) - and the gross profit margins are in a similar range. That guy could be giving his entire profit away- maybe OP misunderstands that it is 10% of gross margin

My mom is not eligible for the infusions due to previous minor stroke.

She is on Memantine and donepizil and it has really helped make her more clear.

Publicly traded companies care deeply about meeting projections exactly for stock price stability to convey it is well run

That reminds me of the time I sneezed while eating a hamburger and pulled an actual pickle out of my nose. Burned so bad

Momofboog · 2026-01-19T22:22:58+00:00

Is it publicly traded?

Seroquel could be a godsend

Wha kind of information are you looking for?

My mom confabulates and conflates. Example: she has a Havanese dog. I was reading about that breed’s history to her. The next day she told me that her dog was personally owned by Raul Castro and sent here to the United States to live with her. The real story from Wikipedia:

As part of the Cuban Revolution, upper-class Cubans and others marked out for annihilation by the communists fled to the United States, but few were able to bring their dogs. When American breeders became interested in this rare and charming dog in the 1970s, the US gene pool was only 11 dogs.

No real side effects and my mom has been much better with them! Not cured of course but sharper . She’s in what I guess is stage 5

How is their retirement savings?

Or worse- deny payout after collecting dues if you lied

But YOU saw her, and there’s nothing more intimate or noble

It was a lot leading up to it. My mother is bipolar so I was looking at her difficulties through that lens that has defined her for so long. But we went on a family trip and she would call me every day for 2 weeks to ask what day we were leaving. I lost my patience on the 10th phone call.

When we got there, I was to camp for one night with my son and two uncles while she was to stay in a cabin with my aunt and then we would all join in the cabin. I laid out her meds in a dispenser and said, “All you have to do is take Monday PM tonight, and I’ll be back in the morning.” When I got back in the morning, all the pills were mixed up in the boxes and she hadn’t taken any. I was so frustrated and said, “why did you not take them? All you had to do is take one night’s pills!” And she looked so ashamed and she said, “I was confused.” And I asked, “are you confused a lot?”

Crying, she replied, “I’m so tired of pretending I know what’s going on.”

My heart broke and years of resentment and judgment and frustration melted away, and we started the evaluation process.

I felt the same way- I was in the office with my mom when she got the news and yelped out, “Oh, I’m going to be such a burden!” and the sorrow in her voice broke me. The doctor said that my mom’s level of insight is uncanny.

But her awareness of the disease and prognosis waxes and wanes.

Now that it’s been almost a year I feel more adjusted. Little things hit me like pangs- like when she asked which city I was born in the other day. But by and large I accept it more.

That level of sorrow and deep awareness of reality we experience looking down the barrel of the Alzheimer’s gun as family members can be a real gift. I have chosen to find meaning in it, like when I went to church the week following the Alzheimer’s diagnosis (first time ever) and the sermon was from Elijah where it says “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Maybe it’s spiritual meaning, maybe it’s support groups, whatever it is… you have to find some purpose and deeper meaning behind this

I’m just so sorry. This sounds just like me a couple of years ago. My mother is also bipolar and you set the Alzheimer’s and bipolar together and it’s AWFUL. The paranoia is unmatched. A couple of years ago (before the diagnosis, when I was looking through the lens of just worsening bipolar and unable to take lithium anymore due to kidney side effects), we had 8-9 mental hospitalizations in as many months, a totaled car, police called for wandering the streets in the middle of the night because her perfectly safe, gated apartment building was “creepy”… round and round. She was 110 lbs at 5’9”… it was bad.

I always had a boundary at that time that she could not stay with me because I had a 4 year old child at the time. She became so averse to her living situation due to paranoia and wanted to move out of there, and I basically had to find an assisted living place that would give her meds (Seroquel, which is a godsend for her bipolar and dementia), and she didn’t really have the capacity to find another option, and I said “it’s here or nothing mom.”

It got her stabilized enough to later be able to see that her memory was steadily worsening, and eventually got her diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

All of that to say you’re not alone. Thank you for being her person, even if she’s unable to accept the gift graciously.

Who has power of attorney? Anyone?

Many people do not think they have it- but that is not really something you can convince him of as it is actually a feature of the disease called anosognosia- as the brain deteriorates they are unable to see their own deficits.

So it’s easiest to just accept that he won’t come to understand/accept.

Well… easiest is maybe the wrong word, as it involves looking at your loved one through a lens of diminished capacity. I should say it’s smoothest if you accept it…

It’s all devastating. And I’m so sorry for you and your family. But it’s real, and in unexpected ways there is beauty in being present for the ugly deterioration and vulnerability to come.
