worried about grandma

Sometimes she laughs about it, and sometimes she doesn't realize she's done it.*

Take her with you to places. Go on walks with her and talk about her past. The interaction will help her memory, grow closer to you, and improve moods of both of you.

I wish you the best and hope a bright future for you.

We go to places all the time. She loves telling me about the town we live in, and flowers and gardening, and stays connected with people she grew up with on Facebook and in real life. She's a regular at a buffet in town and usually knows every old face in there. Her memory seems great.

Her older brother has Alzheimer's and he's in a home somewhere, completely gone. I don't know.

While on the phone to my elderly father the other day (who lives alone) he had to move around because of the mobile phone signal. He suddenly said oh I really don't want to talk about this because once you bring it up then it becomes real and begins to scare you, but sometimes when he goes into another room in the house he has this sudden feeling like doesn't know where he is any more and is takes him a moment to figure out what is going on.

I was like, often? No. Any other time? No. A bit like when you go to get something from the kitchen and when you get there you don't remember what it was? No, not really. Any walking the street in your underpants? No. Ok, well I'm sure a bit of that is normal with age, as long as you aren't roaming the streets in your underpants lets keep an eye on that.

Part of me is like, great, he is fine. Another part of me is like oh shit oh shit oh shit I need to go visit him, but make it not seem like I'm checking up on him. As thoroughly modern as I consider myself I still find my father expressing insecurity and fear to be distressing.

Great, now I think about it I'm worrying more too. The other week he said that he took his morning vitamins about four times because he kept getting interrupted in his routine and he didn't know if he'd taken them or not. At the time I was like lol I know that feel.

My grandfather fucked our names up and was mentally well up until the day he died
Everyone screws up to things like that and it becomes a little more common when you get older just because your mind goes a little bit no matter what
