 Whovian (2,753 posts)







SCREAMING! Just got off the phone with my ALZ dad after trying to walk him through an internet





 purchase. He's too paranoid abt his cc info to let anyone else do it for him and cannot see but one section of the screen at one time for some apparent reason even though there is a windows bar at the bottom of the screen that it always takes 5 minutes to find if ever!!!!!
 
And this is the guy that... Never mind, I love him to death but jesus he's frustrating.

 Stinky The Clown (49,587 posts)

9. I have a 98 year old aunt . . . . .







. . . . . who can't remember my wife's name from visit to vist, can't remember my cousin's wife's name, who thinks my cousin is me unless we're both in the room simultaneously, and so on and so forth.
 
She was like a second mother to all her nephews (no nieces) and we all love her more than possible. Our wives reintroduce themselves ever so good naturedly. Our kids reintroduce themselves each and every time and hug her tightly.
 
She remembers every dog's name. No confusion there.

Every encounter with her is more than precious. It could be the very last one.

She will be 99 in March.

The dogs probably have more personality.

You should look into that, Stinky.

I don't think whovian's dad has Alzheimer's .  He knows enough not to trust a DUmmie son with his credit card number.

They figure that it's the government's role to help out.

Well, I must say the adroit sparkling old dude's response brought a tear to my eye; he does have some humanity in him.

The problem is, not nearly enough.

True.

...and so will I.  Most people are not worth remembering.

As frustrated as I get with my mom who has Alzheimer's I have to remember that her mom had it and finally died from it and my Mother is 86 years old. It's part of life. There's not much that can be done, As for helping anyone let alone an old person over the phone dealing with computer issues then now you know what it's like to be Customer service for Microsoft and a host of others companies Stinkbait. You can't be to smart if you haven't took control and just went over to your fathers and did the purchase yourself or worked on the problem yourself there Sheldon Cooper.

The dogs probably make less of a mess in the cat pan than Stinky.
