Gonna be a long night. 🙄

I've told this man 27 times - the tv remote needs new batteries. And his mind is blown. Like to the point where I almost think he's being difficult on purpose.

If he has dementia (?)that's what happens forgetting ,sometimes, almost as soon as you tell him.
It's very hard to work with people with dementia they're not being difficult on purpose, but they do get upset and sometimes even to the point of anger, due to the constant confusion.

@Justmeraeagain He does have dementia, yes. Tonight he's pretty calm & content. Last night he was very confused & wound up.

@Tumbleweed It's odd how they can be okay one day and completely confused the next

@Justmeraeagain It's like a light switch. He speaks perfectly normal one minute & the next minute he's wrapping packs of oatmeal for Christmas. 😔

@Tumbleweed I worked in the kitchen of a nursing home once and the guy wasn't even really that old he was only in his early 60s and one day he'd be okay the next day he'd be trying to eat the garbage offer dish cart
