Dads can be quite amazing, I have to laugh sometimes. Actually my dad is probably one of the easiest of dads with dementia. He is 88 and still very nice, he is usually very compliant and never does anything worrying like wander (at the moment) but he has no memory to talk of unless we go back many years. I do his breakfast and dinner everyday and each time it is a surprise and he seems to think he hasn't seen me for a while. I do his meals or he would live on chocolate biscuits. Dad decided to stop driving of his own accord (no he did not, I had to hide his car for a week) He has forgotten that he has dementia (very common) He also has terminal cancer and he has forgotten that too which is difficult as I have to be careful what he eats.
It works well at the moment but I have no life to speak of and and I am frazzled all the time. I find the dementia harder to deal with than the cancer.
