O...It's tough that your Mom's job has gone. Organisations often don't appreciate how much is involved in some jobs, and then when they let these jobs go, things fall apart.<br /><br />That's worrying about your Dad's sleepiness - I'm not knowledgeable about medical matters, but there would be other symptoms, wouldn't there if there was a bleed? <br />And I hope the tooth is OK, how strange that they'd rather pull it. Pulling it is going to need sedation, so will filling it, so they should just x-ray it and fill it and be done. <br /><br />Your Dad has a wonderful, caring family!<br />PennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760293429495313618.post-12420171053503566022010-05-29T15:04:00.855-07:002010-05-29T15:04:00.855-07:00this has to be hard for you dealing with these iss...this has to be hard for you dealing with these issues and not being in the same city as your dad; you are a good daughter for trying to take care of these issues long distance<br /><br />I liked how your dad said your mom looked glorious. <br /><br />It has to be hard dealing with dementia issues. I know with my MIL, I'm not ever sure where she is when she is talking, past, present, imagined, etc. I find myself going with the flow in talking to her and trying to piece together the best I can with what she says with what is going on. It is truly a sad disease<br /><br />hugs to you for your efforts<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760293429495313618.post-39592331236577492592010-05-29T07:21:44.720-07:002010-05-29T07:21:44.720-07:00Beautiful how he said, "She looked glorious.&...Beautiful how he said, "She looked glorious."

However long it is, it must really be wearing on your mom - on all of you - to deal with all these fluctuations of eating/talking/sleeping/memory/ medical patterns. I know it did me with my dad. I think the hardest part is knowing that there will be no 'getting cured' or going home again.<br /><br />Dental care on an alzheimer patient is probably a tricky business! To get them to keep their mouth open long enough to work on it, I think they would have to be sedated? Surely you should find out if it is abcessed or just painful and he is just not verbalizing the discomfort. If they are unwilling to fill it, maybe you could get some of that temporary filling stuff you get at the pharmacy, though there again they would have to cooperate to do it, but maybe his angel nurse could help with that. I used it a long while back when I didn't have money for a dentist and a filling fell out, and it lasted quite some time as it hardens like concrete. Of course you'd have to be sure there was no infection or further decay first!Wander to the Waysidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056931538024315352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760293429495313618.post-58445783982025073122010-05-29T02:28:24.855-07:002010-05-29T02:28:24.855-07:00I love hearing some of your Dad's descriptions...I love hearing some of your Dad's descriptions.
