My lower back is killing me to the point where I can't sit for more than 30 minutes without discomfort. I'm hopping a few trips to the chiropractor solve it bc I don't need it to be anything worse than that right now.

Sorry to hear that, having a mother going through it, I hope you don't take offense when I say I smiled a bit about your grandmother giving them the Peach out sign, as my mother has done some pretty funny things in her condition, including challenging another resident to a boxing match, for kissing her "boyfriend" who was actually one of the aids...LOLSorry to hear this. Same for you CAA. I'm going through the samething with my Grandmother. Her Dementia is getting bad. Both Saturday and Sunday she decided she was leaving the assisted living home. Grabbed her pillow and gavethen went about her business. Luckily the staff was able to get her before she got too far.
Last week, she had lunch with my Grandfather twice. Only problem is he's been dead almost 20 years.It's crazy how quickly how fast her health has deminished. The hospice nurse told us around Christmas last year that it would be her last.

Sounds like it was riding along with Rusty Casino and the C200 7 iron
You need to go off the grid!
The dementia thing is just terrible. We've been really lucky that medication has really helped slow things down for my grandmother. Before she was hitting my grandfather, calling the police about the headlights outside her window, telling my aunt that my grandfather was out until 1am with his girlfriend... it was bad. She's much better now, but it's only a matter of time. Meds help control some things but it's not permanent. I feel for you guys.

No offense at all. I laugh about everything anymore. I'm not so sure she really gave the peace sign, but I like to think she'd be hip enough to do it, or fly the bird to the camera as she passed it. I think it was more that she just walked out the back door. I've heard all kinds of things from her. Apparently there is a secret first floor where she lives that no one is supposed to know about. But she found it. She wandered around down there before one of the workers saw her down there and took her back to her room. Thing is, she lives on the first floor of a one floor building. On a similar note, my great grandmother (other side of the family) thought her son in law was her boyfriend a few times while going through her battle with dementia.
My grandmother is on meds. I think they are working a little, but obviously not completely. But she has Lewy Bodys (I think I spelled that right) and I think it is a little more aggressive form of dementia. Grandma did call the police because she felt the nursing staff just left her by herself and wasn't taking care of her. That was an interesting message to get from my Aunt.

Yep, the medicine's worked great for a while for my mom. As long as she took them on time and regularly (one of the reasons we decided to have her move there about 5 years ago) she was as alert and happy as could be for a while. Like you said, they are not 100% effective and do lose their effectiveness over time (according to the Dr's).
When you make the parapet on a 20 foot tall building 5 feet higher than it was, and you're in a hurricane prone region, you might want to let the structural engineer know this more than a couple days before you go for permitting.

I wish, but no. The numbers were stolen somehow. I need to check but I think the local Chinese restaurant has a hacked computer or something and someone is lifting card numbers off of them.

I feel your pain, this is virtually every conversation with my grandmother at this point. She was doing pretty decent until about a year ago when my Mom died and since then she has just unraveled. Every conversation I find out that if I was just there a few minutes earlier I would have seen my Mother, she came to visit. This weekend my grandmother told me she was pregnant, yep at 99 she is expecting 8 babies but it's ok because she is going to go home to live with her mom to help care for them, her Mom has been gone since 1977 and would be 123 today. Last week I went to see her and she told me that Mr. Koldja and his family came by for a visit, this was barber that used to cut her brothers hair in New Jersey back in the 1920's. I just humor her, she appears happy with these encounters so why upset her.

That hurts deep!!!
I worked with a few so I know what to say to sound like them. I've laughed at a few with their crazy ideas when I worked construction.

Exactly. Just smile agree and let her believe. What ever makes her happy. That's about all that matters anymore.

That was the best advice we got from the Dr's not to try and convince her she's wrong, just go along with it.
A really good song and video on this.

i so wish more people would adopt this attitude. i can't stand to hear, "this is so-and-so. you don't remember them? yes you do, you've known them for x number of years!" like, why do that? what does that accomplish?

I remember a couple years ago getting a phone call from my grandfather in the middle of the night, worried that my father had not made it home during the snow storm we were getting. The only way I could reassure him that everything was ok, was to tell him my father had made it to my house, and everything was fine.
My grandfather thought it was the 50's/60's, and that my 60 year old father was in his youth, had gone out with friends, and had missed curfew not getting home during the snow storm we were getting, and was worried he was stuck in the snow somewhere.
Things really changed at that point with the way I viewed him. Our normal visits/conversations had always been about the same thing (seriously the same conversation for 10 years that we would always have), but those conversations became drastically different/distant/confusing. He steadily went downhill until we finally lost him last year. Dementia is just brutal, my condolences to both of you with what you are currently going through.

Getting an email from our tax guy that says we owe the government money this year after getting refunds the past 2 years feels like a kick in the junk.
