Hi,
Hope you are all not too bad, these days.

Just a quick question about dad. I spoke to the nurse today and she said he’s zoning out and shaking. It’s a newish symptom. Spoke to him today via Skype and witnessed it . Husband said bye and speak another time. That’s when he kicked off. The shaking is so violent . Thought he was going into meltdown with tears, too. It’s upsetting to witness. Wondering if it’s the progression of dementia. He’s gone from being mobile living on his own to nursing home, major short term memory loss, double incontinence and very poor or non - ambulatory depending on the day. All over 6 months.

We’re moving home to be nearer dad in a months time and he knows that. And will be able to visit him a lot.

Any ideas?

Thanks for listening.
