Granny's gone and done it again

He thinks he's been in for many days and doesn't understand why he doesn't come home today. He understands it when I explain it but by the next hour he's anxious again and doesn't understand why he doesn't come home today...I explain again and so it continues....
Short-term memory loss. Takes patience to deal with.
mine is 72. Blood thinners make you freeze
I like it at 73 upstairs. Thst puts it at about 63 downstairs which is perfect for DH, lol.

I always enjoyed helping people in the hospital and assisted living care. But the way things are going, I don't know if the next generation will see the value in helping the elderly (or want to) once I need care!
What choice do they have? Shoot us when we get inconvenient? Take us out into the woods in a blinding blizzard and leave us there? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I guess I ask Robert the same thing a lot and he sure doesn't mind telling me about it. He will even say, why should I answer you? You don't listen. I try not to ask him anything now
Have you explained to him that you listen, you just don't remember very well any more? I have had to explain my deafness to Elijah MANY times to get him to 1. Face me when he talks, 2. Don't start speaking until he is in the same room as me, 3. Speak UP and speak SLOWLY, 4. Say GRANDMA and wait till I mute the TV.

Its hurtful, ain't gonna lie but so many things relate to autism that I don't really question too much anymore.
Exactly. But that's no excuse for them to be rude or mean. When Lij mumbles walking away I remind him yet again that I need him to do all thise things I listed because I am deaf, if he wants me to hear him and not have to keep repeating, which frustrates him.

no, not that I can tell. What does make it worse is since Tom passed I went right back to smoking a lot. 🥲
We each have our own habits that answer to stress. We need to feed 'our feel good emotions'. Dairy fills that need for me when I'm stressed, and the consequences aren't good either. DH needs the dairy or There would be none in the house to tempt me
