My Dad keeps acting like he’s back to being a fighter pilot, when he used to impress the ladies to no end.
Dealing with humor: When we were in ‘Vegas I took him to a “gentlemen’s club.” He had a lot of fun, but didn’t remember it twenty minutes later. The last time we went to ‘vegas I decided to save money. We went to the casino and a good tip got one of the cocktail waitresses to chat him up for a time; later I told him that we went to the G-club. It was far cheaper and he still had fun.
That was a great idea! You have FReepmail.
LOL. I guess in his case, it really did 'stay in Vegas.' ;~))
My mom has dementia, she is 86, in great physical shape, but has advanced dementia. My prayers for your dad and your family.
Music from her generation helps with the sundowning- people with dementia tend to get very agitated around sunset, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy David Jr, Tony Bennett helps bring her mood back up and makes her feel happy and safe. Structure and routine is also important for her. She can be diverted from a full on anxiety attack to dancing and singing once she hears this music.
