M tells everyone who she meets that her husband doesn’t love her anymore. He visits her and she smiles and he tells funny stories so what’s with that?
Today she corralled a gentleman and was talking it up. We left at that point.
As we passed her table upon returning, she smiled a most enticing, come hither smile, “Come sit at my table. You can sit on my lap.” Now, I imagine she was inviting Wayne to her table:) Anyway, we ran like 2 frightened rabbits to his room and hid out for a bit.
Of course, he immediately forgot it. I didn’t. Have a feeling she will be moved if her advances become physical. Right now it’s just kind of humorous.

I wonder if she was a flirt before her illness, and this just magnifies that part of her personality?? Or…does it free her up, and allow her to be a little sex kitten that she always desired to be?
Who knows…can see where it would be a little unnerving though. So many personalities.
Isn’t it amazing? It was so humorous as usually she mumbles but today her words were loud and clear!
What could possibly be the cause for her behavior? I believe some underlying factors causing her to act like this. I pray things will improve for the betterment of everyone. God bless.
It makes one wonder, doesn’t it, what personality really is. Are the social brakes on because of the super-ego (old Freudian term) and when the id gets control, watch out?
Oh my.
You’ve really had some humorous and interesting experiences with the different personalities in the ward.
Hugs,
Can you imagine being a caregiver for AD patients?? I’m sure they’ve seen and heard it all and have only learned to roll with the flow. Thanks for sharing the stories as it gives another side to AD that I never realized existed. My sister in law is to the stage she’s forgetting how to use the proper utensil. The other night at dinner she was trying to cut her meat with a spoon. The one thing that makes it easier is she’s so agreeable and laughs about her forgetfulness rather than get upset. I know that’s probably selfish of me, but I’d much rather see her laugh than be upset.

This is all so complicated and confusing and no one really knows the cause or what makes who do what. . . Sandie w/♥
