As I told you before my uncle was put in a Nursing Home and Rehab Facility where he can barely move his legs and talks a lot of nonsense that he really believes is true! For example he was in a short term facility in late December and early January and when I would call him he would ask me what time it is and one time it was 4:00 PM and he said,” In the morning?” I told him,” I would be asleep if it were 4:00 AM!” and I laughed. He said,” Oh ! Because they are supposed to be waking me up about 4:00 AM because my boss is going to be picking me up then.” I played along and told him that I had forgot, remind me where he worked and he raised his voice a little and said, The Rehab center!” Now he is at a long term facility and the other day he said he was working on a house boat where his boat was docked behind it and he hopes the wind doesn’t get up and undo his boat. He added that he needed some warm clothes to wear to work that they have been sending him to work in his hospital gown! Lol!

I've been wondering where you had gotten to... It's been a while... Glad you're back! You're poor uncle. I hope he's comfortable.

Yes, it has. Last I started a discussion was February 9th. I have just been very busy and when I am out for some reason myLot discussions will rarely post from my phone. Thanks, he is not real comfortable not being able to walk. He has fallen a few times. Get's bed soars, but doesn't want to come out of his room too often.

@dfollin Oh, I see... I won't use my phone to play on myLot. I'm not comfortable using the small keyboard with my big fingers so I prefer my laptop to myLot with. Oh, that's too bad... but understandable, I guess... If I couldn't walk, it would bother me, too.

@DaddyEvil I prefer to myLot from my laptop but I can’t do it unless I am plugged in because my battery for some reason won’t stay charged.

It’s sad when anyone is seriously suffering from Alzheimer’s. I’m always hopeful they don’t know and worry about it.

@RubyHawk I have thought that as well butthe hospital’s keep telling me no that it’s a depression older patients get from not being at home.

@dfollin It sounds very much like Alzheimer’s or dementia.

I assume he has Alzheimer’s or Dementia? Some of the things they say can be humorous.

They said no that it appears to be depression that old people get from not being home.

He always had a great sense of humor, but this is getting funny and sad at the same time because I seriously thinks these things are true. Thanks for saying to bless him.
