My dad died 5 days ago after suffering with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's mix for the last 5 years.
it's a shitty awful disease like others have said you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy you truly wouldn't. It's sounds gross but my dad was in immense pain towards the end as bed sores etc took some of his toes towards the end.
The irony now is that although my mum and dad split up well over 30 years ago my mum is in another care home also with dementia and Alzheimer's mix - she has started having fights with people now (I genuinely have to laugh or else I would cry) and has also been a little bit inappropriate towards family (I know what you mean @FoxesDeb)
Thoughts to all regarding this as it really is a family destroying disease
