So, has anyone else has had cases with elders and their dementia? Recently for me it has gotten worse. My grandfather lives with us and it is difficult. Especially on me due to the fact that I get very frustrated with him.
He thinks people are hiding stuff from him, he sees things that aren't there. He absolutely loves to make noise and talk a lot in the morning when I am trying to get some sleep. He wakes me up some days and he talks to me (I'm half asleep and half up so I have no idea what he is saying). He's worried about absolutely everything, even if there is one little thing out of place he has to come and wake me up about it. At night he always talks about his medicine and how he hasn't taken anything in the entire day (when he has). He can get quite aggressive too, he sometimes thinks that I'm against him and we argue at times.
So yeah, on top of my loneliness I have to work with my grandfather's dementia.
It's hard, when you see someone who served in the Spanish Army in the Sahara, who owned his own company, who successfully brought up a family, go down like this.
Any advice, or, have any of you experienced this?
