Agitation at its finest 😑

This video is another example of agitation. The kids were over and it really throws Ed for a loop. This went on for 24 hours all day long. It really makes it hard for Ed and us. Happy Tuesday! ‪@dsalnorcal1434‬

Ed may benefit from going to day care for seniors to interact with other seniors, and pass the time. Idk. Just a thought, if it would not be too confusing to be away from the familiar.

It has been addressed many times in videos and lives that Ed does not tolerate being away from family. He has anxiety and increased agitation when he doesn’t have family with him.

Danielle, Ed always takes your word as gold. Lol…I hear him reply sometimes to Dan saying..”well that’s what you’re saying, I don’t know if it’s true myself.”…lol…It’s hilarious! My mother would rather agree with a total stranger over my word when she was living with me. I worked so hard seeing her needs were cared for. And yet she was paranoid that I was stealing things from her. Hilarious in hindsight, she owned nothing but her personal belongings and clothing I bought for her. I know the paranoia was her dementia. She often would talk about me, to me. She didn’t remember who I was each day when I got home from work. So she often would call me by my niece’s name and give me all the bad $hit on me….lol. 😊

This usa family taking care of each other. Ed is included in their lives. As a retired Nursing Assistant I’ve seen three kinds of families. One is families who visit their parents and are in competition on who gets the most on their will. Number two, families who never visit and are hard to get a hold of in case of sickness or near death. Number three, families who live together and share their lives no matter how hard it is or no matter how much or how little the will of the parents may be for. Let’s just thank God there are enough good families in this world that take care of each other, This family is certainly one of them!
