my father and stroke

Well I am 13 000 miles from him.I was talking to my brother about this, how I was sad from him and he tell me I have to got use it, becuase it is normal.He said he was like that before also, but I just never seen that.How come???

You are indeed a long way from "home." I sent you a private message with a link that might help. Good luck!

thank you very much.Do not worry he has good care, just all that stuff, what he talk about...kinda like he is different person

I think it is best that you humor him. I'm just going on what I learned with my grandpa. To correct him means fights. And if you just going along with what he says, calms him, then maybe his mind will start to ease up, and he'll start to remember things. But I would be more concerned how he is being treated at his house. I know that it is harder for people that live with sick patients to be kind all the time and not get impatient. My grandma struggled with that. Since you are so far away, I think just listening to him helps, and the encouragment you give is invaluable. And if you suspect he isn't getting proper care, just keep inquiring about it. Following your heart in this instance is probably the best thing possible. I hope you don't worry too much, but I know I probably would too.

I am sure he had good care, he is just probably missing me and has nobody to talk to.We always talk together like 20 minutes and that's it and this time it was double, kinda surprising.But he just probably needs to talk somebody other like only my mum. One thing is really interesting also...he remeber stuff from 40 years ago, but when I tell something what happen 3 weeks ago, he have to think a little longer to remind it..

My brother is doctor and he is there almost every day, plus my father is doctor too(but docotor of animals), but when he got first stroke he called himslef doctor and tell him what to do and so on.So i am not worried about something is wrong with him medicaly, I just cannot get use to his behavior.He just say jokes, what are not funny to me, say so much stories about people , who I do not know and he just talk and talk, but after hour if somebody ask me what was it all about...I just do not remeber...because it has no point.I mean I do not know how to respond to him...should I talk with him like before??Or like with little kid, explaine everythng....that, what 's the problem
