Dementia

Dementia is no fun, but it can be funny.   It looks like a coping mechanism by others to find humour in those difficult situations.   It's hard living beside a dementia patient.  But I'll always find the humour.

My Step-Grampy became hospitalized and died with dementia. On Mom's side.  My Step-uncle died very young with it.  On my Father's side.  All of it is so sad.  Both sides of my family with the illness.

The illness is a lot like my Multiple Sclerosis in many ways.  The familiar is often recognized.  Change totally screws me up.  At 3pm I feel weird and tired beyond belief.  My memory is recalling nothing or at least very little.  Moving  here was a big and tiring change.  It is a necessary change I'd need to make eventually,

My brain hurts.
