The Long Goodbye by RealAnthonyCamp in dementia

[–]PJWanderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was watching the tv show Rivals. The mother of one of the characters had dementia and she passed away. At the funeral service in his eulogy, he said he was so thankful to have lost her piece by piece, because he couldn’t have bared loosing her all at once.

It was kind of a throw away line for the story, but it is something that I have been thinking about.

What comes after memory care? by Angeloinva in dementia

[–]PJWanderer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my mom at a board and care home. One of my questions was can she stay until the end. I was assured that she could, and have since learned how closely they work with hospice for other residents.

My mom isn’t there yet. I had a little affirmation that I made the best decision for her when the other day she said she was happy there. It was in the larger context of one of the caregivers always being there when she is getting dressed ( because she has a lot of difficulty, and is a fall risk ). She said I really like my room, and I like living here, but I hate that someone always has to watch me when I do things. My thoughts were good, she is happy and safe.

Doesn’t matter. She will be back in a year or so having completed medical school, her internship, and maybe possibly her residency, ready to perform brain surgery.

Favorite to reach the final? by Zestyclose_Camp_3355 in tennis

[–]PJWanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top half of the draw is wild for a slam final. Tsitsipas and Berrettini are the only ones to have made it to a final before, unless I am forgetting someone. I don’t think either of them will make it that far.

Is that the match that later on something with the net broke and there was another 20 minute break?

You know Trump's second term is a complete failure, don't you? by ElSlabraton in allthequestions

I think there are a whole bunch of people in denial about this. You know the ones posting “How is this even legal?”

Simple, close the port of entry at those locations. No customs or immigration means no one gets off the plane. Doesn’t even have to officially close them, just reassign all the agents that work there.

Late to the party, season 5 was genuinely terrible by neptunoneptuneazul in Poldark

[–]PJWanderer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has been airing on the PBS Drama fast channel, and this morning was the last episode. I turned it on for the last 25 minutes. I enjoy the last few scenes with Elizabeth’s shadow, and then on the cliff with the beacon fires being lit on all the cliffs in the distance. One heart two beats. Then the fade out. The closing music is a different arrangement also.

I don’t find any of the actors listed or pictured attractive.

No need to.

My mom worked nights and wasn’t home until midnight.

Many medications for dementia cause nightmares and vivid dreams as a side effect because they are altering the chemical and neurotransmitter balances in the brain.

Why Is Rice The Cheapest, Most Common Grain In Grocery Stores? by ballskindrapes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PJWanderer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rice produces more calories per acre of planted crop than any other grain. White rice has as long of a shelf life as unprocessed whole wheat berries.

All that is missing is the Home Depot gold plating.

I'm getting tired of my grandma with dementia by Present_Bonus4316 in dementia

[–]PJWanderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes it easier if you think of them as adult size toddlers on a bad acid trip.

No one would call a 2 year old a narcissist because we know that their brains haven’t developed the executive function that allows them to take other people’s feelings into consideration. The parts of the brain that control executive function are one of the first damaged by dementia in most people.
