Hi, I am new to talking point, I joined to communicate with like minded people looking after a spouse with Dementia.
Recently I have found my wife interpreting comments from the news into her own world, for instance, the upcoming war on ISIS, whereby the news talks about killing etc, my wife takes on board they may come to kill her, and at meal times, if she feels she has not eaten well, someone will come and question her, lastly she has taken up to sleeping in the afternoons for about three hours.
Has anyone else going or gone through this phase, if that is what it is.
Thank
Bikey
Thank you all your prompt responses, Her actions are not at all unusual it seems, so far I have not heard of her dreaming at all, I think the next stage for me will be to watch less news, I am still thinking she is the news junkie she used to be!!!
