Sounds fucking trite but I've been there done that and hope never to do it again. Both my in-laws went through it so it scares me to think what may happen to my wife in the future.
Fuck!

We all unfortuantely will go through this at one point or another. These two monsters(dementia and Oldtimers) are becoming as rampant as FUCK CANCER.
I dont know why, Im sure it has to do a lot with Preservatives and hormones that have been filtered into our human food supply.Without our consent.
So in 25 yrs when I dont recognize you out on playa, lets just party it will be nice to meet you AGAIN!

People are living a lot fucking longer, any wonder that some of the parts are wearing out? Many of us would already be dead if not for advances in medicine and trauma care. Me, for instance. I don't think a lot of the fucking chemicals in the environment are fucking beneficial, but we only get the chance to die from them because we're not dying from cholera and bacterial infections of one sort or an-fucking-other.

Talk to your dad BB, no matter how far into the alzheimer he is. Ask him about family and past stories. Ask him what his favorite color is. Talk to him about anything you need to and that will keep all those memories sweet. Talk to him. Keep his brain working no matter how far into alzheimer's he is. Tell him how much you love him. Thank him for always being there for you and thank him for telling you what's what when you were growing up. Forgive him for the wrongs you felt he did to you. Then hug him.Box Burner wrote:(((((((((ygmir))))))))))

My grandfather had dimentia. He lived with us until it got so bad he had to be put in a home. For our safety as well as his. I think that I only went to see him once after we put him there. I could not bear to see him like that. I feel real bad about that. I was about 15 when he died. Now, my Dad Has Alzheimer's. And yes Little by little it robs him of life. Sometimes he forgets things that he knows he should know and it scares the hell out of him. Like how to find his way back from the grocery store. I do not know what to do. There is much that he and I should talk about but it would be pointless now perhaps. I do not know. There is anothe side story to this that makes me angry and is beginning to fill me with hatred. It may yet rob me of my soul. But I will not tell that here.
My heart goes out to anyone who has to deal with dimentia or Alzheimer's. It is not easy to deal with and heartbreaking to watch.
Edited to say Fuck.
This thread has been somewhat theraputic for me as I feel like I'm the only one who has the heartbreak of a loved one with dementia or alzheimer's. It's fucking kills me at times that my mom's sense of self is being robbed of everything she holds dear.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

Yes MA, Fuck is therapeutic.
I am undergoing a major emotional readjustment and have for the first time sought out professional help. And though Depression has been with me all life long, my methods of dealing with it are getting more effective.
As a native american I have used the Sweat Lodge as a community practice, to deepen inter community bonds in my life. I have new found away that combines my spiritual beliefs, modern medicine and cultural practices.
Fuck why Did I let so much time go by between sweats? Why the Fuck did I let so much become so out of balance? Why the Fuck is This not Covered By My Insurance? Fuck I know this unpleasing taste in my mouth is from expelled toxins but does it really have to fuckin taste like Whale hork? Fuck this hurts! and it's supposed to stop/slow the daily-grinding-accumulative-pain? fuck!

I went to counseling and my insurance didn't pay for it either, but I kept going and it gave me a lot of coping skills. My life has been in a sort of emotional upheaval for the past two years. Separation from husband, having to put mom in a specialized care unit....living on my own for the second time in my whole life, meeting a new man and hoping it truely works out for the best. EEEEeeeeeEEEeeeeK! But I just sit and close my eyes, and breath deeply. My life is really uncomplicated and simple. I hope the same for you. You'll get through things if you do one thing, don't feel like you have to be "strong". Allow yourself to go through all the emotions it takes to help you get through whatever you're going through!knowmad wrote:Yes MA, Fuck is therapeutic.

Oh yeah...Fuck all the bullshit people throw at others.

Indeed, FUCK CANCER and FUCK ALZHEIMER'S. I'm still in my 20's yet, and I've buried my grandparents on both sides of the family, both my parents, and three of my uncles now.
Having your mind or body turn against you is the most frightening thing I can think of, and is terrible for everyone involved.

I probably should go in for counseling again, but I have pretty much given up on the psychiatric field. I go in, and they have me spend an hour with an intern, with only five minutes of the session monitored by the psychiatrist who is the one my insurance is paying for. And, of course, those five minutes are spent with the intern telling the psychiatrist what we have been talking about. It wouldn't be so bad, except that all the interns seem to be working from the same play book, and I keep getting the same advice from all of them, and the same assignments which they never follow up on. For a top ranked, major teaching hospital, the UW Hospital really seems to have problems.
Actually, I think the reason behind my latest bout of depression is my job (not my co-workers, or supervisor, the actual job.) There is just too large an area to clean, and too many tasks within that area, and the work is far too isolated. Added to that is that I have never really adjusted to working from six in the evening to 2:30 in the morning. Never really seeing the sun is draining. Today I just decided I couldn't fucking take it anymore and took Thursday and Friday off. (I think that what finally decided me was when I looked into a stall in the Mens room and found someone's anal explosion had plugged the toilet, and the mess smelled like it had been festering for at least a couple hours.)
I put in for a fucking transfer to first shift in Housing, which is reputed to be torture of a different sort, a week or so ago but haven't heard back. Now I see openings in a couple different Halls in Housing, and am trying to decide if I should put in for them (one is under the Building Supervisor who some refer to as "the Psycho Bitch" behind her back..., the other I have no idea who or what the supervisor is.) I gotta get a career change, but have more than ten years in with the State, and the openings for other work are very few and far between these days.
Another cause for depression is seeing how my mom is aging. She has real trouble hearing (science really can't help very much when it is the nerves which are dying), and has trouble seeing, and I think that they are effecting her mind. She also has been having trouble walking.
If anyone sees God, remind Him I am still waiting for some fucking answers!
