my grandmother has alzheimners

[TAK82]

this is really driving me up the wall,

my dad's parent's died when i was 8, i just can't accept the fact that mother's parent's are dying also..

my grandfather has cancer and my grandma has alzheimers,

she constantly remember's and forget's topic's when we talk to her on the phone..

doc, what cause's the alzheimer's disease?
there's been some image's of human cerebral tissue that have been plagued with some soft of plaque that normally would suppress brain functin's and activites

as of this result..my korean relatives are taking ym grandma to a nursing home and i don't know how they treat patient's there but not very well compared to here..

having to deal with human excrement and requiring patience is unbeliavable.

i never talked to my grandparent' much..only when they came to visit us in the US..

i mean, my grandma literally raised me when i was an infant i just want to do something for her

This just tears me up man. I was practically raised by my grandmother and I can't even bear to imagine what it would be like to be in your position. I don't know medically what you can do for her but you can offer all the love in the world and sometimes that helps me most.

Hang in there man

You're in a hard spot, no doubt about that. Your grandparents need your love as do anyone else.

The disease she has causes the brain to breakdown, severing connections with short term memory, where only long long term memory is remembered and eventually that may be lost too. My great grandmother developed dementia very similar to what your grandmother has. She eventually didn't know who I was. Yes, it hurt, but I knew she couldn't help it.

Feeling sad like you are right now is normal. Remembering all the fun times with her will help. If you can visit her, go as often as you can, but remember she can't help what she has or how she acts. If she's far away, maybe a trip to see her one more time is in order.

My grandmothers sister was like that and I took her a great distance to see her and that gave her closure and myself as well.

Get her a medical Visa, We have them here in Canada. Bring her over to get the medical attention she needs. Old folks home I believe fall into medical attention now, aslong as they have a nurse on staff.
