My mum also has Vascular Dementia. She's always been a Tv addict even before she became ill, and she spends most of her time watching Tv when she's not at the Day Centre. Because she's not able to read the Tv magazine or use the remote control I programme the tv for her every night so that it changes channels automatically. Great idea you might think! The trouble is that mum questions me about what she can watch on the tv, and she wants all the details - what's on, what time it's on, how long it's on for, what channel it's on, what's on after it, who's in it, etc. I answer her questions and then a few seconds later, she'll start all over again, same questions and usually in the same order. This can go on and on as she's very persistent and isn't easily distracted. I sometimes feel like I'm being interrogated, and when I'm really tired I get confused and can't remember myself what I've put on! I finally settle her, get out of the house and into the car only to see her standing at the front door. I go back to see what she wants, and I then get the question, "Is there anything on television tonight?" Aaaargh.
