Life with Dad

Caring for someone with dementia, you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Location: Texas

This blog is a reflection on being a member of the "sandwich generation". We are those sandwiched between aging parents who need care and/or help and their own children. After an extensive remodel of our house, we moved my parents in with us. Dad has Alzheimer’s, which adds complications to the situation.

Clothes

In the middle of the afternoon, Dad went into his bedroom and took off all his clothes. I just happened to walk in just as he was taking off his diaper. I asked him what he was doing, and he said that he needed to get clothes on. I pointed out to him that he was fully dressed and took off perfectly good clothes. He couldn't explain what he was doing or why.
