Hi All,
1st Time poster here. My grandfather has recently been diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. He had a stroke last year which they believe caused the on set.
I believe he is suffering from mild/latter stages. He is currently in hospital as had a bout of pneumonia, and seems to have good days & bad days. The bad days are very upsetting for everyone as he'll either just lay in bed crying, or not want to speak to anyone. Last week he believed he was in prison, and now he thinks he's back fighting in Korea.
There are days when he won't eat or drink, and days when he'll physically push people away.
Obviously this is very hard for everyone, my Nanna especially. What can I do to help her and my family. I have a psychological block that is stopping me visiting him in hospital so I want to do all I can outside of there.
TIA
