Fronto temporal dementia is different in that my dad didn't lose his memory. (Bruce Willis has the same thing actually) He finds it difficult to communicate. Aphasia is part of that, losing the ability to find the words needed to communicate what he wants. He's also lost his empathy, and his sense of danger, so is unable to understand what other people experience. Like my mum got diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years before mine. He said "what the hell is wrong with you?" This was coming from an ordinarily extremely kind man. He couldn't understand why she was upset. But we didn't have a diagnosis for him then. We just thought he was being an ass for whatever reason. Then when I got cancer 2 years ago, he didn't get it at all. Which, in a way, was fine. Maybe it's better that he didn't understand and he could be happy in his own world. He knows us all, and he understands what's going on around him, just not other people's feelings, or to understand that he needs to be careful to not fall again. That said, all the staff at the hospital love him. He is a sweetie to everyone.

I didn't even see the drama toward you, and being honest, I wouldn't have believed any of it. You've never been one to stir up trouble and I've always liked you. Hah! Wigglenose is known to be a drama llama. Sure, imagine pretending to be your mother. It's hilarious. I might have poked a little fun at that in the past. Last year, I had the opportunity for a killer sarcastic comment and I used it and ran lol. One of the mods then messaged me off site to have a giggle about it, because it was funny now that I think about it. He's a big child.

Sometimes I imagine that type of people who try to pull me into drama as 40 year old shut ins who sit in their mom's basement all day playing video games and trolling SG and Reddit. When I think of them like that, it helps. LMAO!
