Teepa Snow on youtube has some good videos and there is a book called the 36-hour day that comes highly recommended. Although, by the time I got it I was too burned out to read it. Reading really did help me a lot though. There is a lot of strange and unsettling behaviors that can come with dementia and knowing what to…

My mom had dementia and died in July now I'm helping out my dad who is in the beginning of dementia but progressing. It's hard and many times things will be okay for awhile and then issues pop up.

I've lost 35 lbs without exercising. It's all from staying within my calorie budget and trying to move more. I try not to sit as much and am doing more housework (especially since I feel so much better after losing weight). I'm sure it's mostly from calorie restriction though. After Thanksgiving, I hit a rough spot so I've…
