I'm sorry for what you're dealing with Roger. That's got to be really tough. My dad is 81 and still sharp, but he's awaiting results on a biopsy on his prostate. Based on his numbers, I'm scared chitless.

I hope you can hang in there for him. Lots of people just ship their aged ones off for someone else to care for. He may be losing his faculties, but he probably has moments where he's aware and it's a blessing for him.to be with family.

Prayers my friend. Wife and I have been thru similar three times. As was said, we just let them win and respond in the affirm if at all possible. Enjoy those moments of lucidity and know that UTI’s accelerate extreme confusion. God Bless all of you.

Don't lose your composure with him.
He probably wont remember.
But you will.
And ya cant change what might be said.
Sometimes the best approach with the elderly is appeasement to let them " win".
It's hard going that route but it advoids ugly build up of resentment and words that cant be taken back.

Just try to do your best and bite your tongue if matters are happening like that.

I wish you the best.
You dad also.
Thank you.

Send prayers for you and your family, from us in N.C. We’ve been through this with my Grandma, so I know it’s tough. Real tough. I’m sorry that you all are going through this.

Done

I had my mom pass unexpectedly in 2008 so was saved watching her deteriorate, my dad made 96 almost 97 and passed last year, he was alright to the end, so again was blessed, but my in laws, one with cancer and one with dementia, that was really tough.

so hang in there, in the end you will be glad you did your best.

thanks, my dad and I are a lot alike. I'm Franck with him and don't bull chit him, but today he didn't understand. he fell the night before last, bruised his ribs, and got a bump on his head, thinking I might put him in the hospital to get checked, chit took his 1911 away because I'm afraid he might shoot someone on accident.

I know what you're dealing with - and facing.
It's a rough ride, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
So hard to see a very vital, and intelligent man regress almost to toddler level, but not as rational.
I loved my Dad, so put up with everything he did, and miss him greatly.
You have my prayers and moral support, Roger. Along with prayers for your father, family, and caregivers.
Don't forget to take some time for yourself - to sit and breathe deeply, if nothing else.
