Hi.Yes I have a father who has vascular dementia.He had a stroke which affected him in 2017.He has left sided weakness but had several before that one.He was diagnosed in 2016........Dad says “hmm “ a lot too.He will get angry with me and contradict me,but I have learnt to let some of it go.Dad has always been selfish and a narcissistic personality and this has got more pronounced as he has got older.He will remember the names of regular visitors but cannot remember his granddaughters name.He calls her(the maid).He remembered her yesterday as she came to see him with me.Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the dementia or personality to be honest.
Gonna check it later and read it. I maybe have to go to repair something on the tv of my mother, maybe its just the batteriesIt is yes.I have had a difficult day today with dad.It has been one thing after another.Nothing I have done is good enough.So I told him straight today.It is all on the “Vent “post
Hi.Dad is either in his chair or bed.He is unable to walk unaided.But,apparently he is going to try and walk without his frame..............Dad has always been difficult and can be even more so now....My Mother in law had a serious stroke 10 years ago, which unfortunately left her paralyzed all down her left side which means she is chair or bed bound and requires 24/7 care which my father in law gives her. She was also later diagnosed with Vascular Dementia.
The Stroke and Dementia has changed her personality quite a bit, she now likes things she used to hate and vice versa, she still has a good memory for names and faces and surprisingly some facts etc from years ago, but can't remember what she just ate for lunch. She only see's down one side, although vision in both eyes is fine, her brain does not tell her that there is food on the left side of the plate or there are words on the left side of a page. However the worse thing is that she constantly has hallucinations, she sees monkey's in the garden, babies everywhere and gets extremely upset if you try to tell her there is nothing there. She constantly believes I have another baby, her daughter has died some horrible death even though she can be stood right in front of her or her sons have some bad injuries, even though we can show her they aren't true.
We all think it is quite funny sometimes and just go along with her, but my father in law who lives with it 24/7 gets very upset by it all, especially when she believes he is having an affair with their grand daughter!! No amount of telling her this isn't true, she just won't have it and this can make her angry and aggressive, but fortunately as she can't move from her chair, she can do little about it. I think if she had been mobile after the stroke and the Dementia, my Father in law would not have been able to cope with her.
