Today I am going to travel a footling to a greater extent than serious than usual. Bobby says some of you lot demand some of my insight in addition to advice. Keep inwards mind, I am non getting paid this time, hence read along at your ain risk.

Bobby says that persons living alongside Alzheimer's tell NO all the fourth dimension fifty-fifty though they don't hateful it. Okay, I tin explicate some of the reasons why this happens.

First in addition to foremost, sometimes, perhaps most times, nosotros tell No because it is the easiest matter to do.

It is real piece of cake to tell NO.

For most of us living alongside dementia it gets harder in addition to harder to tell what nosotros are thinking in addition to feeling. So nosotros simply tell NO to larn it over with.

Why the hell are you lot bespeak us the same inquiry over in addition to over anyway? How would you lot similar it if I asked you lot to larn somewhere over in addition to over?

Here is something else you lot mightiness consider.

You mightiness travel assuming that nosotros know what you lot are talking almost when you lot inquire us to exercise something. Maybe what you lot are bespeak us to exercise makes perfect sense to you. But perhaps it doesn't brand perfect sense to us.

Sooner or later, you lot lead maintain to come upward to the agreement that our retentivity is non equally skillful equally it role to be. You mightiness travel assuming that because nosotros did something over in addition to over inwards the past, nosotros should travel excited almost doing it correct now. Sometimes when you lot inquire us to exercise something it is like bespeak us to exercise the slap-up unknown. What would you lot tell if I asked you lot to exercise the slap-up unknown? Think almost it.

Example. Lets assume you lot tell existent fast, its fourth dimension to choose a shower. And in addition to hence I tell existent fast, NO. If you lot pay attending you lot volition start to notice that I (we) oft tell NO existent fast without thinking.

There could travel a long listing of reasons why I tell NO. Maybe I am afraid I am going to drown if I larn inwards the shower. Or, perhaps I don't know where the shower is located. So, I tell NO because I don't desire you lot to know that I don't know where the shower is located. I don't desire to embarrass myself.

Here is something for you lot to mean value about. Maybe I don't desire to exercise something because I actually don't empathise what you lot are bespeak me to do.

Besides, why the hell exercise you lot bother me out of the clear bluish heaven in addition to inquire me to exercise something. It mightiness await to you lot similar I am non doing anything spell I am lying on the sofa, but did you lot inquire first?

Maybe I am squeamish in addition to comfy in addition to I don't desire to choose the darn shower correct now. So approximate what, I actually can't explicate all the mumbo jumbo inwards my encephalon hence I'll larn inwards piece of cake on both of us in addition to simply tell the 1 give-and-take that is easiest to say, NO.

Here is what I mightiness actually travel thinking inwards this instance.

Why don't you lot choose me a squeamish large bowl of H2O ice cream in addition to forget the shower" Or maybe, simply maybe, if you lot position a large smiling on your face, await me correct inwards the eye, in addition to tell inwards a squeamish calm voice, exercise you lot desire some H2O ice cream, I mightiness tell yes. Then you lot could say, okay, lets choose a squeamish shower in addition to when you lot are done you'll larn a squeamish large bowl of chocolate, vanilla, in addition to strawberry. Now you lot are talking. To that I tin tell YES.

Bobby says he finds it upsetting when someone refers to a mortal living alongside Alzheimer's equally a mortal they don't know. Well who the hell exercise you lot mean value I am? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 regal martian? Hmm, I wonder what regal H2O ice cream would gustation like. I mean value I'll stick alongside vanilla.

I acknowledge nosotros exercise modify when dementia sets in. The principal matter that changes is the agency nosotros mean value in addition to remember. It simply isn't piece of cake for us to remember. What exercise you lot mean value nosotros lead maintain you lot around for? To assist us.

Bobby is a sweetness boy. Sometimes when I tell I can't retrieve or I can't figure out how to exercise something he says, don't worry, I'll lend you lot my brain. Then he puts his caput on my caput in addition to says, see.

Here is my terminal slice of advice for today.

Maybe you lot should lead maintain that nosotros are changing. We can't motility equally fast equally nosotros 1 time did, nosotros can't mean value fast similar nosotros 1 time did, in addition to in that place are some things nosotros tin no longer do. But in that place are lots of things nosotros tin in addition to desire to do. I'll larn out it to you lot to figure out what nosotros similar to do.

So instead of bespeak us, why non choose us gently past times the manus in addition to Pb the way. You already know nosotros are going to tell NO if you lot ask. So how almost you lot lend us your encephalon in addition to Pb the way.

My in conclusion tip. Relax, choose a few deep breaths, mean value positive in addition to larn slow.

Or similar Bobby says, choose a large stride to the left in addition to come upward on into our World -- Alzheimer's World. It is non equally bad inwards hither equally you lot think, lead maintain it.

For those of you lot that lead maintain been around for a spell delight note, I lead maintain a novel motion painting upward in that place at the top, no to a greater extent than Dotty Einstein for me.
