DEMENTIA
Is dementia part and parcel of growing old? I have read alot abt it and seen cases too.
I know an old man (92 yrs old) and he have all the symptoms of dementia. He can ask one same qns many times within a min even after answer is given. Qns like where is this place? Where are we? Have I eaten? I want to go home at gatherings. Many of his family members would end up being impatient, frustrated, irritated...and eventually starts to ignore all the questions, treating the old man as nusiance. BUT this old man is blessed with a good son.. a son who is always there for him, always listening..always answering his same qns over & over again..always rubbing his hands..praying over him. It is really warm-hearting to see such sights..
Tired already, will blog more abt dementia in my next posting. Nitz..
