In dementia patients, I wonder how much is real, and how much is just blurred weirdness. One time coming out of anesthesia I apparently had a very detailed conversation with my IV bag about some crime we had committed. Turns out I was recalling the previous week's episode of CSI, which, fortunately, one of the nurses recognized.

[@adinameadows7959]

Yeah other wise they would probably be a investigation until someone finally figured it out.

I cared for an elderly Asian woman who regressed to her late teens/early twenties when sundowning. She would panic that she hadn't studied for her exams or was going to be late for some student activity. But the scariest time was when she dislocated her shoulder one night "fighting off the communists". And the sweetest one was when she wanted to get all dolled up because we were "taking the train" to go meet the "husband" her family had arranged for her to marry. She'd never seen him before, but wanted to be pretty for him. I did a little digging and found out that all of these things were real, and really had happened in her life.

I'm sure there are legitimate confessions but you have to be careful with people who have dementia. My father is almost 96 now and he tells all kinds of wild stories. I recognize quite a few of them as being plots from popular movies that he's somehow confusing in his mind with things that actually happened to him. He genuinely believe these things though and no amount of logic and reasoning can convince him otherwise.

[@stinesfloy]

Really careful. My grandfather was convinced he killed his little sister when they were kids sometimes.Considering that she is 80 alive and well thats not true. He also became extremly racist. Kind of odd for a man that activly protested against it when he was young.

[@amyrussell860]

I have seen dementia do that to people. I'm an RN who works in long term care right now and we encourage watching tv shows and movies on the classic tv stations like MeTV for that reason. Dementia patients often do unintentionally fabricate stories as well. When I was working as a CNA in the late 1980's/early 1990's I had to fend off unwanted advances from both genders. As I have learned since, nothing has really changed behavior or human nature wise. What has changed is how blatant and out in the open we are about it.

[@lorriefinley3129]

@ chardtromp Don't try using "Reality Orientation" on someone with Dementia. 99% of the time it will cause the person to be more distraught, more angry & more resistive. Because until the end stages of Dementia, the person still has a sense of awareness & at some level, pride. What works best is called Validation Therapy by Naomi Feil. This process works by accepting the person "where they are" using sentences that validate them as a person in the role/place they are in at the time. The cognitively aware person will "enter their world as necessary, such as pacing, repeatedly folding an item of clothes, smoothing a soft pillow, etc., By validating the person based off of what they are talking about they were a good mother/ father if talking about needing to find the kids, was a good (enter name of job here) if talking/ wanting to leave to go to work, took good care of finances if complaining ppl are stealing $$. Rather than to feel as if they are in an argument and be antagonized, this method allows the person to be calmed by reaching them at a personal, empathic level. By doing this, the Cognitively Impaired person will more often than not be able to make the distinction themselves of what is the past/ not reality and what is the present. This is the Method in a nutshell, but it's highly effective.

WW2 Vet on hospice gave me his first hand account of what it was like to storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, the battle of the bulge, and liberating one of the concentration camps. At 96 years old you could still see the pain and terror in his eyes from what he had witnessed and experienced all those years ago. I've also taken care of a couple of people who had the tattoo on their wrists as victims of the Holocaust. Seeing that in real life, hearing a veteran tell his stories, are some of the most sobering experiences I've had as a nurse. Things I never expected to encounter.

[@beardiemom]

I wasn't even IN nursing school yet when I was interning at a hospital. A patient was screaming for hours and the only reaction he got from the nurses was annoyance. No doctor was called and no pain medication given. He passed away later that day. I was in shock the rest of that day, but with the station understaffed and 30+ patients to care for, I couldn't take my time to work through what happened until I got home. Nothing prepares you to witnessing such a lack of empathy from the people that are supposed to give physical and emotional care to patients.

[@tonimedlen5371]

Wow that is so awful!

[@Crystal5672cats]

How are a few people to provide emotional care for 30+ people while also balancing other tasks? I’m not saying this was right but let’s judge the circumstances and not the people. Priorities go to the ABCs - airway, breathing and circulation. Instead of saying the staff lacked empathy let’s say the staff lacked adequate resources as in other staff to be able to provide good care. I can guarantee you the staff there that day did not go home thinking “I feel really good about how all those people were cared for today.” In my hospital where we have a unit that can have 30+ patients there are a minimum of 10 RNs and 4 CNAs on the floor to provide care and we are hoping the whole day and it is not an ICU. People need to fight for better staffing in facilities in this country.

Things I've learned dealing with the elderly: 1 - the past is a different country, everything is foreign to us there. Judging it with current view points is pointless. 2 - the mind doesn't know age, seems only the body knows that. If you are attractive expect them to notice. (4) 3 - guilt is a consuming fire. Confession is good for the soul. 4 - The filter fails as you get older. What is inside comes out, dirty, mean or sweet. 5 - If it's important to them, it's important.

As a kid I dreamed a few times that everybody I knew killed each other and then it was just my paternal grandmother's cat and I left, and I remember the fear of not knowing if I had killed someone or if it was the cat... (Don't judge me - I was very young and it was a nightmare.) Its the recurring thing that scares me, because they tend to stick in memory. I mean, the nightmare with a cat still stays with me almost five decades later. What if I tell the nurses that one when I am demented?

I visited an friend of mine in an assisted living facility regularly years ago. At one point he had a room mate who had fought in Vietnam. Talking to his room mate one day he described the requirements for being in the small military unit he commanded and how people who didn’t meet the requirements couldn’t survive in combat. I eventually realized that he was explaining how he was protective of his men so when new people came in they couldn’t be on drugs or anything that would compromise their ability to fight and keep watch. He would help the men who were on drugs get transferred to a different unit but if they refused to take the transfer then they were always killed or seriously wounded in the first battle. He said you can’t really tell if someone has been shot from the front or from the back in combat. I’m not sure if he was trying to justify himself from guilt or just sharing about his experience. It’s also strange to realize that he was trying to save the lives of his men by weeding out anyone who would be a danger to the unit.

I said, I know mom, but people with Dementia can still live for years. She said no, I have a week to live. WHAT?!?!? I freaked the hell out. Called my dad and he was laughing his ass off. He assured me that no, she wasn't going to die in a week. So then I told her and she was so relieved, she was so sure she was about to die. Sadly my mom passed away a year ago this month.

Sadly, as his infection progressed, he had first his toes, then half his foot, then the whole foot, amputated. Eventually, he had to have a leg amputation. The night before, he was very,very anxious and was given Valium. It affected him in such a way that he wasn’t himself at all. He was making comments about how he wanted to “ eff” me, how I would enjoy being with a black man, those kind of remarks. After the surgery, he was so sad and ashamed for talking that way. I told him that 1) It was the meds talking, and also, I pretended that I never heard most of the things that he had said, that he hadn’t said them out loud. He was so relieved.

On the following morning, when we went to see how he was, we were received by a psychiatrist who told us that would stop when the anaesthetic wore off.
