May 2013

My dad would puff every night at 5 PM. For two hours he was pleasant, funny, coherent and okay to be around. The other times he was a dementia patient that did not know his own neighborhood. he was mean, violent and a horrible horrible human being. But come 5 oclock, he wasn't.

I have a friend who's wife is a dementia patient and I try to get him to give her a cookie. "Do you want your wife back, if only for a little while?" But he is so old school that he refuses,even though for the past 20 years or so the pharma industry has ruined her mind. She has been on Morphine and other opioids for ever and ever and now she is a total zombie.
