Okay, everybody, get OFF my stage, it’s, MY turn to “perform now”!!!
Wait, what was it that we’re, talkin’ ‘bout again? I forgot…
I wake up, what day is this? Did I have my meals yet, did my children come visit me today? Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Did I already eat? Did I go to get the groceries this morning? Where’s my money? You took it, didn’t you? Who are you again?
I got up from my nap, and the world as I knew it, became, no more, I wake, in this, strange bed, with this, unknown person next to me, now, she’s, trying to, take my clothes off (ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, somebody help me, I’m being RAPED!!!). Now, the person stuck a straw into my mouth, what’s this, sip on it? How do I know, you’re NOT trying to, poison me, to attain all my money? I want my children!!!
As dementia progressed…
I wake up, in a daze, it’s dark all around, and, is that you my mom? How have you been? Oh, I do, miss you so very much? Did you, go visit grandma yet?
Walking into the bathroom where there’s a mirror…
Hi there, grandma, I miss you, oh so, very much, how come you’re, never around anymore? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I’d, soiled myself again!!! What are you doing, pulling down my pants? And why are you, drowning me?
And that, is just, the smallest portions of what’s going on, in dementia’s day…
