You have to admit @maggie6445 that demonstrates a certain logic.Passing the local primary school today
OH: there's a lot of nice looking cars there to say they belong to small children.
Couldn't help getting the giggles.
It does but even this type of logic is rare! Most conversation is the same two or three stories made of reality and things he's seen on TV.You have to admit @maggie6445 that demonstrates a certain logic.
Ah ,bless her. My oh has been trying to talk to me this evening but I honestly haven't a clue what he's trying to tell me. There's been a lot of hand gesture to try and explain and incomplete sentences with nouns missing and you knows. I feel so sad when this happens as he's trying to communicate and I can't help him. I just smile and nod but I think he knows I don't understandMum in mild distress having her pad changed ‘Get me out of this car!’
Oh dear ,a lack of awareness like that must be really annoying for you.I got my husband and myself new glasses. I only wear mine when driving. He keeps complaining the he can’t see with his new glasses. Each time I check he has my new glasses on. I’ve only had the glasses for 2 weeks and because he keeps bending them out of shape, I’ve had to take them back 2 times to get them readjusted. Right now I’m back to wearing my old glasses and I’ve hidden my new glasses from him.
mine does that. he forgets to take them off in bed so i tell him, he doesnt clean them unless i tell him, he will look at something and not realise he has to put them on. he does feel his face to see if they are on or off.Oh dear ,a lack of awareness like that must be really annoying for you.
My OH has worn glasses for 68 years and he always put on first thing in the morning and took off last thing at night. He definitely needed them .
Theses days he isn't even aware that he isn't wearing them. If I say " you've forgotten to put your glasses on " he starts feeling his face to check! I wonder if the signal from brain to eye is starting to fail. Even though the fact he has to check makes me smile it's another dementia not quite so funny thing !
The whole point of dementia @Rachael03 is that reasoning is lost, so you won't understand hers!đŸ˜„Im new to this thread but enjoyed the giggles. Laughter is definitely medicine and we need to take what we can from it!
Struggling to think of a funny story so just sharing a quirk for now. Since her diagnosis, my mammy has taken to wrapping the strangest things in tissues or kitchen paper - hairbrushes, money, kitchen utensils being common ones. Wrapped very carefully but sometimes meaning you csnt find the item you are looking for! We are so used to it but its funny when comeone new is in her home and questions it.....i would love to understand her reasoning đŸ™‚
One brick at a time@!! đŸ˜‚ I'm sorry, just couldn't resist.My OH was ' chatting" to my daughter in the garden centre cafe while I went with my son in law to get some compost.
The gist of what he told her was that we went to a wedding and was asked to take down a brick wall. We put the bricks in the boot and brought them home. He's building a wall with them in the gardenđŸ¤£
Think the wedding we are going to in July and the garden centre visit was getting a bit mixed up. We had been talking about the wedding just before I'd gone compost hunting!
Oh now in a wheelchair so not sure how the wall building will happen đŸ¤£
