NMom was dx'd in 2017 with mid-stage VD. She presents extremely well. She is so cunning and manipulative!!! Last Tuesday I got 2 loaves of bread. She is borderline diabetic so I am monitoring her carbs. Thursday I noticed both loaves are half eaten. She knows exactly what she is doing!!! She deliberately did that hoping I would not notice!!! Urgh...Rant off! In years to come, I will laugh about it but I am pissed right now! :D
Please share your stories...I need a good laugh! :D

It's now October, and from this post it seems that your mother is still living with you. What happened to her going to a different AL?

Some will eat, forget they ate & so eat again & again.
Others say Oh I've just eaten, when clearly they have not.
I imagine diabetes adds another dimension of cravings too.
Learn all you can about dementia, then when Mom goes into the next stages you won't be surprised. Go to the blue/green bar at the top of the page.... click on CARE TOPICS.... click on Alzheimer's/dementia as there is a store house of information.
