Dementia!!!

My Grandma is one tough lady! So, we have known a long time ago that she suffered from dementia but just recently has it taken a big effect on her life. Beware if my grandma is in her demented upset mood do not get in her way because she might just hit you with her walker. Since her dementia has gotten to the red zone, where she doesnt know there is something wrong with her and she is being violent, we decided that the best choice for her was to send her to a hospital to help get her on some medication. It will help calm her anxiety and hopefully decrease her dementia without taking her spirit away. So, the next few weeks we will see how it all goes. Luckily, she still knows me and my mom but thinks her husband is alive. Let me just say with a disease like dementia you cant just be upset about it and let it bring you down. Yeah, it is sad to watch but it is something you just got to laugh at the stories she tells you because it is one of the best ways to cope with the situation.
