          The first thing you learn when dealing by voxwoman 2009-01-29 14:44:01
with dementia is to identify yourself to the disabled person. When I call my dad, I say "Hi, Dad, this is your daughter, voxwoman" (that is, if he picks the phone up)

It saves a lot of grief. Well, some grief.

Half the time when I visit him, he thinks I'm my (deceased) mother.

I've also had other residents at his assisted living come up to me and say "Are you my daughter?"

Dementia sucks
