My thanks go out for Teepa, her wisdom & energy, I sent some videos to my sister, we'd talk, laugh & agree later, she saw Teepa in Phoenix last March, wow! I got a short video Teepa sent to me on my sister's phone ! Saying Laura told me you turned her on to me, thanks! We'll never forget!

My sister in laws aunt went for something, than got lost coming home, so she rented a motel room. When she got up and got in her car and realize she was only 2 blocks from her house. My brother said to her then something much be wrong with your car, I will see if I can fix it. She did periodically ask about it and he said the man says it a big job and he is waiting for parts. Then she never got it back. Of course.

We have never had our mom diagnosed. We can deduce its vascular from the literature. She is 97. We have thought a doctor might bring it up because of her 3 to 4 min loss of information. We had to tell hospital staff that each daughter had power of attorney. Crazy

When I talk on the phone with my mom diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, she will start trashing me as a mom saying that (my name) does … not realizing she is talking to the very daughter she is trashing. It doesn’t upset me, I know she isn’t purposely trying to hurt me. I hear her out and move the conversation in a different direction.

What does different support look like in a burned out caregiver

I am going to the neurologist tomorrow and expect a diagnosis and I’m very scared about what I might do to my spouse as time goes on. I don’t want this.

How are you? Where you diagnosed? Teepa is a great resource, check out her on her KZfaq and Snow Approach Foundation!

So, my mom's hallucinations consisted of her bed being on fire and her phone screaming.... How do you respond to that? I would go to her room and get on her bed to show her it wasn't on fire and she'd get even more hysterical. I took the batteries out of her phone and she could still hear it screaming... How do you respond to that?

We don't push the shower. Why do so. She is happy and why upset her?

She’s very good but the family member that I take care of is totally nonverbal and she basically has no clue about clothes and everything else. If I’m not there to dress her she would walk out naked. I’m trying to say for some people who are at the later stages of dementia/Alzheimer’s is really really difficult to figure out what to do with them because we don’t know anything about what they’re feeling or how much they understand. Thank God for my nursing experience with patients with dementia/Alzheimer’s .
