She ...I can sympathize as my mom has dementia too. She lived with one of my sisters for fifteen years and now has been with a different sister for the last two. She still recognizes us kids (although me and my little sister - who lives in NY - are far away and in other states). We don't see her often. She's so confused most of the time and says some crazy things and wants to go out and get her own apt and such things too when she gets mad, but she can't afford that She no longer recognizes her grandkids or great grandkids. We can't afford to put her in a nursing home either, so hopefully this whole progression will slow down. It's one day at a time.<br /><br />Sunni<br />http://sunni-survivinglife.blogspot.com/Sunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-66086993471115328832015-10-11T05:20:38.270-04:002015-10-11T05:20:38.270-04:00Very funny in a sad way.
