Lea R asked:


how does one deal with the question from that relative, “i’m ok and ready to come home now”, every time one visits that person?
Do you keep bsing and telling them, “Not until the doctors say it’s ok”, or do you tell them they’re never coming back to what they remember as their last home?

My mother has been diagnosed with the first two by different doctors. She has also been diagnosed with Cortical Basal Degeneration and Posterior Cortical Atrophy. Overall her disorder is mostly in movement, although she has slight memory issue and “alien hand syndrome.”

How can I tell if it’s “vascular dementia” or the other dementias I am seeing?

How can we handle situation where my brother has appointed his wife (has Alzheimers) to be his health proxy?

BlairLuvr asked:


He is going to have major surgery and I am very worried bc his wife (who is a wreck and cannot even take care of herself) may have to make life and death decisions. She cannot recall a conversation that took place 5 minutes earlier and has to put tags all over her house to help her remember the names of things (lamp, toaster, tv, telephone, etc.).

BTW, she will be staying with us when he is in the hospital. On regular days, he does all the cooking, paying bills and shopping.

I think Anthony Hopkins stars in it but not sure. She develops this disease at a fairly young age. He is tempted to have an affair with a woman but stays faithful to his wife.

Laptop Jesus 3.9 asked:


He’s so lost. She’s getting very cruel, just had a stroke. Is becomming unreasonable, especially towards evening, threatening suicide etc. She’s in a hospital currently but dad will soon have to face nursing home decisions. He loves to read. Any book recommendations that could help at this time? He’s in rural Wyoming so a support group is pretty much out of the question.
