Dementia sucks, it really does, but sometimes it's better to laugh than cry!
There are so many hilarious things that my dad has said and done, and I just wish that I'd written them all down! Dad loves playing chess (against himself) and the other day when he opened the oven to take out his roasting cashew nuts and found a white pawn turned black. Yes - he roasted his pawn! ...and then painted it white again.
Due to dads Parkinson's disease, he had a chair which he can remotely control, so with a press of a button he can move all the way up to standing or all the way down to lying. He often leans on the remote and the chair moves, but he doesn't realise it is. The other day we were listening to music and 'you raise me up' by west life came on. You've probably guessed it - yes, he lent on the remote and as the lyrics 'you raise me uuuuuup' were sung, his chair magically starting raising. Hilarious.
He also went to morrisons the other day and came back with 19 deserts. 19!!!! Oh dad.
Thank heavens for a bit of humour really refreshing to read.. Yes I think most of us on here could write humorous stories
Perhaps we should start a humorous thread it would help to lighten the burden... All the best.. Exhausted 2015 x
