thank you everyone - its been a semismooth couple of days - a little emotional today as I'm starting to accept that my Dad that I've always known is gone and a "new" Dad is now present.  been spending lunch and afterwork time with him, and its sad to see the shell of the man I've known.... but little pieces are still poking through.  He has had a calm couple of days, hopefully the aggression is under control.  we are having problems finding a home that will take him.... What in the world are we supposed to do with an aggressive dementia/parkinsons person!!  I wish I could take care of him.... but its not an option, especially since my husband does not have a regular job.

The good news is that Aaron got an A on his physic's mid term! he had said he'd be happy with a B....   I think that makes all A's on this round of Midterms.

Carol Aileen, So glad you took the trip and enjoyed time with your son. The situation with your folks will be in my prayers. Have been there myself and it's never easy. Just take good care of yourself always and continue to enjoy the things you love.

Hi everyone :) I had a good trip! Enjoyed visiting with Aaron, and we had good weather on the beach! Life fell apart at home with my parents, but my Sister came over and between my husband and her they kept it semi under control :) sure do appreciate them. My Dad started attacking folks and ended up in the mental part of the hospital, he will hopefully be moved into a nursing home this week. hospice has stepped in and we are trying to get VA nursing home benefits - but it seems that their networth is too much. My Mom is pretty ticked about that... 20 yrs in the Navy and 10 yrs with the State dept.   she is not understanding that there has to be a cut off of somesort.

Charlotte, that is one cool mousepad.

Carol Aileen, have a safe journey and a great time with your son.

ps - got the official diagnosis on my Mom  - a mixed dementia - vascular dementia and the Dr thinks alzhimers...   :(
Comment by Carol Aileen on July 22, 2011 at 10:33am
Wonderful Charlotte!  Enjoy your visiting!   I'm off to see Aaron in a few mins -9 hour drive - but will be worth it :)
Comment by Lorraine on July 14, 2011 at 9:15pm
CarolAileen, I agree with Terry about visiting your son. Your parents have already had a good many happy years on this earth and you will still have opportunities with them. We know that our opportunities with our sailors are even fewer and farther between so don't pass it up. Go and have a good time....no guilt! Your son and you deserve the time together.

Charlotte,  I can't imagine the mixed feelings you must be having,   Not having your mom remember you yet seeing her happy.   My Mom's sister is like that also - she doesn't know her kids yet she is very happy "teaching art" at her place.   I know that my parents are heading that way - greiving for them yet hoping they will be at peace eventually.

Thank you everyone - I can use all the prayers/advice you have - its been pretty rough.   Tonight my Dad had a sundowning expeirence, they could not calm him, the nurse called me and luckly I was in town ( I live 20 miles out of town)  and was there in minutes.   I got him calmed down,   ( my mom took a shower.... hard to lose them both at once!)   and stayed with him til he went to sleep.   The nurse said we need to be preparing for a lockdown facility.  She is going to talk the the Dr about a medication they can give him to calm him down also.

my first thought afterwards was should I still go see Aaron and the beach?? My Sis said for my sanity I need to go..... so still going!
