It's never easy going through Dementia/Alzheimer's with a parent but if you look at the light side it might be a bit easier. A friend told me to keep a journal...so this is my journal.
Mom lives in a very nice assisted living retirement community where she's had independence. She has started to exhibit signs that she might need more care. The other day she told me that the maintenance man came into her apartment to fix the heat. She supposedly kissed him on the cheek and said thanks but in the hall were other residents and they saw them. Mom said now they are gossiping about the two of them. What? Now the story is that the maintenance man kissed her and she told him to get out of her apartment. It's a good thing it was over the phone because the look on my face would have given it all away.
