Every meal, my poor wee dad coughs/ chokes.. He still wants to eat his dinner, puréed diet/ fluids thickened. But every meal in last week has been a horrific ordeal- BUT, he still wants to keep eating, regardless. Mentally, he's very tired, but can be very lucid, and make appropriate responses when I'm chatting to him, shuffles when he's walking, and stares at me for long periods for no reason. I'm at a loss.. What's going on?? Every night, I'm expecting phone to ring from care home, as I can't believe all this choking can't lead to yet another pneumonia :-( .. It doesn't seem like normal Alzheimer's progression, his physical health seems worse than his mental health just now. Has anyone had similar experiences?
