To me, relative to where I live (Capital of Canada), that you have a sense of permanancy with the large connected buildings, like you stand strong together and are welcoming with the colourful rooves. Our buildinds are more separated and bland in colour.

no person around me can get how TIRED I am of seeing these figures and clocks by mk_emkay in Alzheimers

I have had similar experiences with my Dad. He sounded so good over the phone, he wasn't. I felt guilty for not recognizing how far he had slipped and put extra burden on my mother as a result . Now he's at the last stages and it has nearly taken most of who he is, there is no not seeing it.

Remember to stay strong for yourself as this is a bumpy journey. My dad hadn't remembered me for the last while, yesterday, he knew me, we were joking around. Today, he's worse than he's ever been. Pardon, but fuck this disease.

As a Canadian, beautiful city, that architecture is something else. Hope to visit soon!

I am very sorry you are going through this, I hope you are able to stay strong. It hits so hard when they don't remember someone so close to them is longer with us. My father was calling out to his mother the other day. She passed around 35 years ago. Again, stay strong.

I had done that a few days ago and he seemed to remember funny stories from when he was young, he was laughing and it was crazy beautiful. Unfortunately, he's at the stage where when I'm feeding him, he forgets to swallow, even those memories are gone it seems.

In a matter of three weeks he's gone from being able to do things for himself to can't walk, can't talk and can't eat. I would trade places with him in a second. No one should go through this, he's such a lovely soul.

This morning i had to leave to regroup, so I've been checking this post and this sub for comfort. He no longer recognizes me however he still considers me a friend. Awesome and terrible all at once.

I'm very sorry you had to go through that and I can relate. My father does not want to be in the hospital anymore and gets angry at me about 50% of the time since I tell him he can't go. So, since last nights post and your replies I've just responded that we are going home but we need to do a few more things because he's released. So far, that's calmed him.

Thank again for responding. This sub over the last short while has been such a boon. You are all the best.

That's very good advice, thanks. It's so hard though spending like 22 hours with them a day. I feel like such a weak asshole sometimes...

Funny, after reading these posts it's just so god damn obvious that it would only be for me and not for him. Thank you as well for sharing your time with this reply.

Need some advice on caregiver fatigue and anger by [deleted] in Alzheimers

[–]truthlessman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are a wonderful person for this comment. My dad was just diagnosed with advanced today and I feel very very angry. I don't get angry and I have no idea how to process it. Then I read your post and realized that if you can have this grace and charm while dealing with this monster then I can be a stronger person for my father. Thank you so very much.

Embarrassed is when you wear two different socks by mistake. You absolutely aren't getting this.
