"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Yep. My Dad was fine physically but didn't know who his kids were. I was out of touch and when I first saw him in the home, I was worried about how he was going to cope in this place with everyone zonked out while he was physically ready to go over the wall. He attacked one poor woman, police were called, my sister had to deal with it.

Old Paco was cared for in his home. My brother supervised a rotation of helpers, including nurses. His dementia was come and go. He could be lucid one day, and clamoring for my brother to take a long rebar out in the yard the next day to locate the tunnels being dug by Mexican drug dealers. It was very trying, but he seemed to have more good days than bad.
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law was as healthy as a horse when we were forced to put her in a nursing home, and she was never sick till she died. But she didn’t know where she was or who any is us were.
