'My Faith Scares You"

Speaking of which BFT, Say some prayers for me. I was awake all night and have a 3+ hr drive to go see mom in Delaware with my sis.

Sadly mom has dementia and it weighs on me 24/7 and my BP spikes as we spend time with mom. Mostly from to trying to communicate things to her, plus put out fires she's made in her affairs or in her mind's thinking about her affairs and being confused more of her day than clear portions.

Today is her 82nd birthday. I know we should always cherish our hours, days and years of being together, but Grandma and her sisters lived into their 90's. If mom lasts that long, WE are in for a long rocky road once she crosses into the worst of the Dementia/Alzheimers.

Dementia in a parent is very tough to deal with. My father was a very healthy person except for dementia. The last three years of his life his mind was completely gone. He couldn't talk. He didn't recognize anyone. They had to use a crane to put him in a chair. He just say there staring at nothing. He had signed a DNR but until he quit swallowing when they fed him they couldn't do anything. He finally quit swallowing. It took him ten days to starve to death. The doctors said his body was very healthy, just his brain was gone. Don't want to be a downer. Just want to say cherish the good times when they come. My father was in an Alzheimer's ward for ten years. For seven of those years he had lucid moments. Cherish those moments.
