My husband's grandmother had alzheimer's and as sad as it was there were times when you had to laugh. Whenever we went to visit her and I would get up to go to the bathroom she would ask my husband why he was there with Kevin's (his little brother) wife? We all still have a good laugh about that. She was convinced that I was actually married to Kevin, but when I was in the room she wouldn't let on that she thought anything was wrong. <BR/>If you need anything let me know.Irish Divinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228172435996065554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-1115652326309338392005-05-09T10:25:00.000-05:002005-05-09T10:25:00.000-05:00My Grandpa was the same way as your Nana.

My Grandpa tried to grab my wife's ass once. I guess he was reverting back to his sailor days. It was pretty funny since he was always such a pious person for as long as I knew him. I found out later that he was a pretty big "ladies man" in his days with the U.S. Navy. I kind of like to think of him like that. We would've gotten along great as shipmates. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-1115568436358013912005-05-08T11:07:00.000-05:002005-05-08T11:07:00.000-05:00I have never personally dealt with what you and yo...I have never personally dealt with what you and your family are dealing with.

I've ...Oh, K, I'm so sorry to hear about your Nana. I've heard that Sundowners is a very bad thing. I tell you what, we all quit trying to correct or argue with Grandma a couple years ago. She was convinced one time that my Uncle Charles had rearranged the entire living room while she was in the bathroom. She thought that the couch was on the wrong side of the room and that her chair was in the opposite corner, TV was moved, everything in the whole living room was moved. So she got up because she was pissed off at him for doing that. She went to her bedroom to get away from Uncle Charles and her backwards living room and when she came back in about 30 minutes, he had fixed everything back to the way it was before. Well, he hadn't touched a thing and he could not convince her that he hadn't. He finally quit trying to tell her and just accepted (as did the rest of us) with, I'm sorry I moved your stuff, I'll never do it again. We've finally learned to cope with her irrationalities and actually to laugh at the ludicrous things she says or does. At first it was very difficult, but as time went on, we all just had to see the humor in the sad places to be able to go on. I swear, the woman will spite us all and live forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
