Hi Foxy
I'm glad to help. Sorry to hear about your late mother's dementia. Dad had serious dementia before he died of something else (7 heart attacks in 2 days). I found dementia was a Long Goodbye of behavioural change, mood swings, rapid memory loss, not fun. Pete Posted by plantagenet, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 10:01:17 AM

Hi Pete,
Mum knew who I was during her dementia journey. I visited her every single day. She was in an excellent nursing home and I got to know all the residents and staff through taking part in the programs they offered. They all became family. Mum used to look forward to the food I would bring her just to provide variety in her diet. After a while I had to bring enough for others to share as they too looked forward to my visits. I learned a lot from all these people. We danced, sang, did art classes but above all - listened to music. Music had a wonderful effect. The Melbourne Lithuanian Choir visited often and sang songs in both Lithuanian and English - the residents loved the National costumes and the songs.

An excellent National Film and Sound Archive of Australia testament to the proud, bored (between terrified) Sunderland aircrews in WWII, forever over water in the Atlantic.
Then the pissed off, tropicly diseased RAAF men in the Pacific and PNG, in Catalina flying boats, Kittyhawks, obsolete Beauforts and better Beaufighters. Everything but the overpraised "Spit" pilots of the Battle of Britain. http://youtu.be/xSlHLFAQlGg Posted by plantagenet, Sunday, 9 May 2021 10:10:20 PM
