Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 " He would have normalcy at times. I never knew what I would have from hour to hour, day to day, month to month. Sometimes normalcy lasted for days and other times just moments before confusion kicked in and that would last for who knows how long. In the early years, he would be confused and then the phone would ring and it's his brother and on the phone he would speak completely normal as if there was no confusion only a few minutes before. It's a very frustrating disease. You never know where you are in the scheme of things. " One of the things that Dad's Dr. told us near the end was " you can see a different person every hour of every day " and that was so true of my Dad. He died on November 4, 2010, a Thursday, and just that Monday the 1st he had gone to the lawyer, been 100% competent, joked with him, and signed some papers. That day ended up being the last day he was awake. It is soooo much a roller coaster. Someone recently mentioned " show time " and that is also so true - they can " pull it together " for outsiders for a long time. Dad could up until the end. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?? My Dad pulled an actual, physical " straighten up and act right " when he really wanted to put that show on....amazing. Blessings to all who are going through this journey and those who have been on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
