I used to take care of my grandmother 5 days a week. She had Alzheimer’s bad it made her some days cuss and swear other days she just sit there like a vegetable. On good days she tell stories about her life. On really good days she told true stories about her life lol.
I could tell if the story was true or not if she told me it at least 3 or more times on separate days.
My uncle Har lived with her. He never married he is Ace like me. My grandmother on more than one occasion tried to set me up with him lol she ask Do you know my son he is a nice man so kind looks after his mama. Are you seeing anyone? Lol I would say no I am single and I know him. He is my Uncle. Lol she just go OH that’s lovely isn’t he nice. So are you my grandchild? I say yes I’m your daughter Laura’s only girl. And she go OH LAURA’s little girl. I know you lol hi Baby. Lol
One day was a repeat day where she repeat everything she say or do. I still feel bad for my reaction.
We were in the kitchen at the breakfast table and she asked me what was in the cupboard behind me.
I said plates and bowls.
She said o I have my wedding china somewhere.
I said it’s in the dinning room.
She sat there for a second than asked what was in the cupboard behind me.
I said plates and bowls
She said o I have my wedding china somewhere.
I said it’s in the dinning room.
I was starting to get a little annoyed. Because I knew where this going she did it a lot.
She sat there for a second than asked what was in the cupboard behind me.
I said plates and bowls She said o I have my wedding china somewhere.
I said it’s in the dinning room.
She sat there for a second than asked AGAIN what was in the cupboard behind me.
I stood up and bust open the cupboard and yelled PLATES AND BOWLS AND YOUR WEDDING CHINA SET IS IN THE DINING ROOM IN THERE!!!
And I pointed at the door.
Please don't feel bad, Alzheimer's is an awful disease for everyone involved and it sounds like you did a lovely job taking care of your grandmother. Occasionally reacting like a human being with emotions rather than a robot doesn't make you a bad person.
The only thing that really makes me feel better is the fact that if she was in her right mind she would of laughed.
I told my mom and my aunt and uncles they all agree it was funny and that my grandmother would of laughed.
Honestly she was such an amazing woman it was a shame how she had to spend the rest of her days.
