Differing realities...

What the world looks like to someone living with dementia: Photos show distorted reality, even in own home

Alzheimer's and dementia don't just alter how patients see rooms and words, it can even change how they perceive day and night.

So republicans are demented or suffering alzheimers?

He was pointing out liberals. They are the ones who believe men are women, right is wrong, all whites are racist, I can go on but you get the drift.

The republicans are the ones with all the problems so i am sure that was what was meant.

Republicans don't believe men are women. Aren't you from san freako? Do you watch the parade as you walk thru the feces and needles? The democrats have done such a wonderful job there!

Good topic but don't expect much from the discussion here. My mother has middle stage dementia. Certainly don't talk much about it here with all the thread trashers.

Sorry to hear that. I don't discuss my family here for the same reasons. I've always felt using someone's family in an attack is the lowest of the low.

It's not just that. It's not a red/blue, Dem/Repub thing.

sure sucked.

I can only imagine. I tell myself every morning now to get busy living.

Dementia and other diseases, don't recognize politics, race or religion. It's horrible for anyone and their family.

Sorry to hear about your mother - I also had a family member who went through this. It is heart-wrenching to watch.

And, yes, it is also a bit sad that a serious discussion of this topic is largely unlikely on this forum, Chimpanzees flinging their excrement at one another has become the norm.

I'll pray for your mother. Stay strong for her.

Sorry for the health problems with your mother. It must be hard to watch a loved one suffering with all their issues.
I don't think anyone can really know what it's like until we have dealt with it.
It will be great when the scientific experts can devote more time to work on better cures/treatment/ possible vaccines since we are getting COVID under control.
Wishing for you and yours better days and health, BD.

Hi Bdtex. I sent you a PM.

Republicans are some of the best looking male/women. San freako ? San Francisco is a beautiful town and there are only a few areas that have crap on the ground as republicans just don't care about anything but money.

I have no problems.

This reminds me of a moment long past..

When I was in my twenties, my dad passed after a long battle illness. At the time, my grandmother, his mom, was in her eighties. Long twilighting from dementia, rarely present if at all.

On the day of his funeral, I'm a wreck, etc.. a d my aunt's bring her to the coffin to say goodbye. She had been very distanced from the events leading up to this...

In a moment I'll never forget.... It was as though she willed herself back in to the now. You could see it...in her face, her eyes..a sheer force of will back to lucidity.. in the moment she turns to the family and says... It's is the greatest sadness for a mother to bury her own child. The greatest sadness..

Then....like it took all of her energy....poof....gone again. Never really returned after that.

FWIW, I carry with me to this day that memory of the power of love manifest...which I took to mean that those we love are always still there, to the last and deserving of every compassion to the end


FWIW.

Liberals believe a gender choice for a troubled individual is their business and not one to be controlled by others.

Who thinks all whites are racists? Certainly there are right wingers who think there is no such thing as racism or that Antifa was responsible for the DC riot.

Then there are wingers who still think the election was stolen, Dominion systems were designed by Hugo Chavez and that the democrats kidnap children and drink their blood.
