Dear All
Thanks for providing me with suppport for this dreadful disease dementia. My dad is a sufferrer and as a result we are all demented that is my mum who is 82 and struggles to cope and me their daughter. Although Dad has never been diagnosed officially I think he has vascular dementia although not altogether sure. My gp thinks so. He has good days and bad days. He knows us all and remembers things although has a big problem with language and processing skills. THe worst being how to use the toilet does anybody else have this problem and how do you deal with it. If we take hime to the toilet he just doesn;t have a clue what to do invariably he is wet and will urinate in the sink. Worst still he appears to be passing motions in tissues and then placing them in the bathroom. Despte explaining to him that this is not acceptable he doesn;t register. My mum gets so cross and then he goes into deep depression. I am at my whits end please help.
Thanks. to you all in anticipation
