That sounds really difficult

 

@Kwikvette btw still no noticeable oil loss after 1500 miles. Turns out my “shitbox” is actually a cream puff

 

Shit that hella sucks

 

Good

I give you a ton of shit but sometimes I worry about you; you sure you ain't just trolling us cause man

 

better check it 4 more times just to make sure

 

My grandpa had Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t fun. It was like he was a totally different person near the end there.

 

And twice after that

 

yeah it really sucks for my dad, he moved them from their lifelong town of Warrensburg, MO out to Medford, OR where he and his wife live about 2 years ago. To a senior living facility so he could be closer to them and help handle affairs. But that move really set his dementia off big time, it was starting around then but I think the stress just pushed him over. They had to separate him from my grandmother because he was forgetting who she was and getting violent around her (was never violent before).

It's hard my dad mostly I think, to see him that way. But it is better that they are closer to him so he can help keep their affairs in order

 

You know I did

 

Supposed to run in the family for many; on my mom or dad's side no one has it

But it's common on my wife's side which sucks

 

I’m scared of my mom having to go into a home and having to sell her house to pay for it. I might have to move back to NYS at some point to help out and prevent that.

 

yeah it can be real tough on the family, especially if you're an only child or the only child willing/able to help. Sucks how expensive it can be just to get someone a decent level of care when they reach that age and mindset.

My grandparents were fairly well off but my dad has still had to put a lot of their savings and money from the house into their long term care

 

Wonder if there are other ways that sort of shit can develop, outside of it running in the family

 

My bad, didn't mean to feed into it. In all fairness y'all fucking add PAGES at a time here and us common folk struggle to keep up.

 

I forgot to mention our pediatrician said the same thing but we're going to wait till 6 months. Everything I've read recommends that.

 

Off subject, I'm loving this freaking joystick

However on DCS, I didn't realize you have to manually program every single freaking key so I uninstalled it and stuck with MSFS

 

Just remember, you can't get diagnosed if you don't go to the doctor

 

I'm not sure with dementia but with Alzheimers it can be triggered or caused by traumatic brain injuries, concussions, environmental exposure etc. But I think genetics probably plays the biggest role, seems there's not always much rhyme or reason to it which is why there's still so much mystery around it. Kind of terrifying really

 

Yeah man, I mean Olivia will basically let you know when she's ready!

I'm guilty of questioning myself about how much more to feed/add to his bottle and if I should change intervals etc but really there's no "exact answer" other than...at your baby's pace so that sets me at ease for sure

How's she been lately?

 

Boy I sure hope brake cleaner isn't a cause...
