Lots of flowers to press now but, today I just took off from them and relaxed with Dad. I see him slipping away now and I don't want to miss any moments with him. The episode last week frightened both of us a lot and I've never felt such pain. It hurt so much to see the fear and pain in his eyes and not be able to do anything to take it away. After several consultations I'm armed with a lot of info and tips on how to mitigate the episodes but just making them easier to deal with is like putting a band aid on a severed limb!
They tell me fugue-like episodes are part of progressing dementia (that's really such an ugly term) and will continue and most likely increase. Now that's really something to look forward to! It seems so unfair to have lived your whole life for others and then come to this state...
