My wife has late stage v. dementia and Alzheimer's , i am fully aware that she is very ill ,
I had a visit from the Dementia team visit last week , they have now said her dementia is Very Advanced , but i didnt really get much of a chance to talk alone to the team to know what to expect and as we know its a life shortening illness so will this make her life even shorter .
Some things i have experienced is when watching TV my wife thinks shes actually involved with every program, i even had to stop her from trying to get into the tv, so now its easier for me to have the radio on as much as possible, also i have to stop her eating dog biscuits and the other day i got her some grapes and she was eating the stems that the grapes grow on , and as you will all know too well i could go on and on
