My Nan just passed away

The worst thing is she had dementia before hand for a few years. So it had felt like I lost her a long time ago. My Dad didn't have dementia but he lost his mind before he died. He didn't know who he was nor could he talk. That was only five years ago so another loss so soon is very hard for me. Plus I have always been closer to Nan than even my parents.

Sorry dementia sucks. My grandmother has dementia now and fell 4 days ago because the stupid family aid didn't pay attention. And she fell cause of weakness and UTI. (I asked nurse for antibiotic a month ago) nurse seems to think a 10 day annual antibiotic will cure her UTI. Nope. Not if she's already got it. Anyways yeah. Dementia sucks. Edit probiotic. The nurse thinks a probiotic will get rid of something you already have which is stupid
