Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:47:16 +0100 http://www.healthcentral.com/alzheimers/c/43/47760/coping-challenging My challenging elderly father always said he was feeling a bit chilly, but he’d refuse to put on a sweater or more clothes at home, nor would he wear a jacket over his thin summer clothes whenever he went outside, which of course he also wore in the winter. A wonderful caregiver (Ariana) and I constantly offered warm soups and warm liquids, but he’d refuse, only wanting to eat corn flakes with cold milk. We also constantly...

The daughter was a bit heavy and apparently her underwire bra kept setting off the alarm, which finally embarrassed her to tears. The mom, seeing her daughter getting so upset, got so frightened and confused that soon she was in a frenzied panic.   I...

We decided to try an around-the-clock vigil talking, lightly massaging and grooming her. I remember the doctor...

The mild and intermittently odd behaviors that gradually increase year after year continue to get chalked up to advancing age and nothing more. And even when it becomes very...

I sigh and say, "Ohhh, if only I could! I'd know exactly what to do to help my parents much sooner and I would be able to save so much time, money, and a fortune in Kleenex!"

Therefore, a thorough evaluation by a dementia specialist is important to assure an accurate diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

We whisper to our friends with a Gallo's laugh about the silly thing we have done now, secretly worrying we may be starting to get Alzheimer's or something.

One fateful day as she walked down the street with her friend Mary, looking for Mary's boyfriend, a dashing fellow drove by and Mary yelled, "Hey, Jake, have you seen my Buck?"
