Both 온라인 카지노 게임s with Dementia
2-2 Hosp온라인 카지노 게임al vis온라인 카지노 게임s as an ordeal
Dementia begins much earlier than we perceive. According to experts, receiving a dementia diagnosis actually means that the symptoms may have started 20 years ago. I should have noticed when it became a frequent occurrence that my 온라인 카지노 게임 would put food on the stove and completely forget about it, burning the pot. Before my 온라인 카지노 게임 came to stay with me, there were some close calls where she almost set the house on fire.
Now that I think about it, whenever I visited my parents' house, the place was so messy that I had to do a thorough cleaning. After tidying up, wiping down, and rushing around to finish the cleaning, my whole body would ache, and I’d feel so exhausted that it felt like I had the flu. At the time, I just assumed my 온라인 카지노 게임 was too busy with other things to clean. People around me also said it was normal as you get older, so I thought it was just part of the aging process. Now, after reading books about dementia, I realize why my 온라인 카지노 게임’s house was becoming messier over time. It turns out that a progressively messy house can also be one of the early signs of dementia.
Although we couldn’t benefit from the home care services after receiving the elderly care grade, we were able to utilize the adult day care center, which turned out to be a great relief in many ways. Having my 온라인 카지노 게임 cared for through various programs at the center during the day gave me much more flexibility in my daily life. Above all, I felt like I had found a savior, as I could finally free myself, even for a few hours, from the constant anxiety and worry I had about my 온라인 카지노 게임.
However, taking a dementia patient to the hospital once a month was one of the toughest challenges. On days when my husband could take time off from work, there was no major issue, but when he was away on business trips, it was entirely up to me, and it was truly exhausting. With my 온라인 카지노 게임 suffering from dementia, weak knees, slow mobility, and a reluctance to move her body, I often found myself at a loss, feeling helpless and flustered.
When we arrived at the hospital, I had to drop my mom off as close as possible to minimize her walking distance. However, even after doing so, I constantly worried that she might wander off while I was parking the car. It was a mandatory routine to repeatedly remind her to stay put and wait for me right there until I come back to her. Despite her reassuring response, "Don't worry," I was always plagued by anxiety because, no matter how many times I emphasized it, she would quickly forget.
After dropping my 온라인 카지노 게임 off near the hospital, my eyes would swiftly scan the people around us. Who might be willing to extend a helping hand when I asked for assistance? I had to use all my senses to identify someone who didn’t seem busy or had a kind and approachable demeanor. On lucky days, when someone approached first and asked, "Can I help you?" it felt like winning the lottery.
I would explain that my 온라인 카지노 게임 was a dementia patient and ask them to make sure she didn’t wander off while I headed to the parking lot. However, even if they seemed like a kind person, I was always anxious about the possibility that my 온라인 카지노 게임 might disappear with them in the meantime. Feeling rushed, I would hastily park the car and then dash back to where I left her, like someone responding to an emergency. The thought, "What if she’s not there?" filled me with an overwhelming sense of urgency and apprehension.
Dementia patients generally have regular check-ups every month. On those days, it’s ideal to have at least two people accompany the patient. One can stay with the patient while the other takes care of vehicle logistics and payments. On the days we go to the busy general hospital, my anxiety reaches its peak. Even while I’m registering, I can’t take my eyes off my 온라인 카지노 게임, so I’m always on edge. During the appointment, since my 온라인 카지노 게임 can’t communicate well with the doctor, I have to accompany her and make sure to remember the doctor’s instructions carefully. After the consultation, when paying the bill, I’m still worried she might wander off like a child, so I have to keep an eye on her. Even when the process is over and I bring the car to drive her home, I can’t relax until she’s safely in the car, and the tension gives me a headache.
It didn’t stop there! Since my 온라인 카지노 게임 didn’t understand why we were at the hospital, she kept nagging us to leave. “Why are you sitting here like this? Why aren’t we going home? What are you wearing?” she would constantly say, making me feel miserable. I had to put my finger to my lips, saying “온라인 카지노 게임, be quiet, just wait a little. We need to see the doctor first!” in an attempt to calm her down. Of course, it worked for only a few seconds… As this process repeated, the stares of people around us became sharp. “I’m sorry, she has dementia, so she doesn’t understand even when we talk to her.” On top of that, my 온라인 카지노 게임 would start provoking people, asking, “What are you staring at?” making me, as her caregiver, feel completely uneasy throughout the visit.
After experiencing these difficulties several times, I realized that I couldn’t handle taking my mom to appointments alone, so I started changing the appointment dates and going with my husband. It was much easier than going alone; not only could I rely on him, but I could also feel more at ease knowing that I could go to the bathroom without worry. I still remember a day when I had to hold off on going to the restroom for as long as I could, just to take care of my mom by myself. Though things became easier with my husband’s help, there were still many occasions when we had to sweat through various incidents together.
I often think how wonderful 온라인 카지노 게임 would be if a close friend or neighbor of a family w온라인 카지노 게임h a dementia patient could understand the s온라인 카지노 게임uation well and reach out first. Asking for help every time is such an awkward and guilty thing to do.
