I should be in bed - but it's too hot and stuffy.. and I have indigestion....

Keith - Please believe I am not saying any of this out of spite or wanting to hurt..

"As a group, seniors are known for repeating themselves.
Whether it's a story from their past, or an amusing joke they just heard, our aging loved ones have a tendency to say the same thing multiple times....

... However, there is a difference between an elder who repeats every once in a while, and an elder who has dementia and asks the same question multiple times
in a matter of minutes, or regales you with the same story several times in one day.
When this happens, it can be difficult for a frustrated caregiver to know how to respond, and how to get them to stop...."

I am overly aware and sensitive due to prevailing family circumstances...

I don't know your age or anything about your personal profile,
but I see signs that a closer friend or relative should not be so shy to bring to the attention
of at least a few mudcatters....

If I've raised an issue already of concern.. start by googling "dementia loop"


... or maybe [fingers crossed] you are fully compos mentis and are quite knowingly
employing the 'ignore what we say and repeat us into submission tactic'...


As a mudcat 'mate', who also enjoys robust argument I hope it's the latter.... 😐
