O HAI THUR! You just caught me drinking out of my massive tug much love mug.

HAHA! Im doing this early tonight because nothing is gunna change between now and later on.

Jan 16th:
It was my nana's b-day today so we went round for tea and chats.
My grandad has alzheimer's and my nan looks after him, he is really bad atm! He can't walk anymore and has been bed ridden for bout a year now He thinks he has to go to school everyday and he see's things floating around in the garden.
I have already prepared my self for letting him go because the grandad i knew isn't there anymore he just seems lie a toddler now. It really upsets me but its just something i have to deal with.
Today he did the strangest thing ever.
He was trying to drink a cup of tea but he kept dropping the cup. In the end he just left the cup on the table and started doing it without the cup.
He was holding his hand as if he had hold of the handle and was tilting it towards his mouth as if he had a cup in his hand. He then continued to gulp as if he were really drinking and then went "ahhhhh" as ifhe was refreshed :( its was very fucking wierd.
I love him but its just not him anymore.

Im gonna play fallout until my bro gets back from work then bed. Night guys sorry if i have depressed you.

    my grandma and grandad have both got alzheimer's and they do the wiiiiierdest things. It is quite upsetting when they forget who i am though but you understand it and move on. It's part of dealing with it. :)

    my nan has it.
    brought on by a stroke.
    i didnt even get a chance to see her slip since she was at a home in wales, there they had her on drugs they gave to everyone to basically keep them asleep all day.
    I do understand she is a wanderer... but she ended up with lock jaw and on the brink of starvation...

    she came back and was in hospital, we were told she had a week...
    but, we basically gave her nutrition drink through a sponge.

    I know you dont need to know this.

    On the random side, the time before last i saw her she kept getting up and doing the hula.
    I obviously joined her.
    XD

    Its strange its still them.
    But not.

    Sorry about your grandad, my gramps recovered from a stroke and can't use one side of his body and basically sits in the same place all day cos' he can't move much. And he talks funny from one side of his mouth but I still love him. And I'm glad there's been no memory side effects and he still has a healthy mind :) I don't know how I'd react if that were to happen so I can't tell you to take it in stride. Just love him the best that you can. Even if he can't remember, he can still feel love when it is shown to him :)

    My mug is bigger than yours!

    Only...it's not, like, my mug...

    *hug* sorry about your grandad.
    You know...even if that cup and that drink weren't real, I bet he still appreciated it. And even if he's really different now he's still your grandad; you love him and he'll know and understand that in his own way.

    I have a bigger mug. Your mug LIES :o
    The top of it completely covers my face. I always wind up spilling tea down my top cause it's so big =___=
    I'm really sorry about your grandad :( My dad used to work with people with alzheimer's and would always come back with some sad story.
