My dad has dementia and he’s at the point where he can’t tolerate even holding an old wall mounted phone. Technology doesn’t exist to him anymore, he can’t comprehend why anyone cares about a digital box with letter buttons or even a TV lmao and he’s only in his 60’s so it’s extra weird to see
Christ, early 60's?
My condolences to him and your family. Of the things I want to see real treatment for, dementia tops the list.
Thanks for the well wishes. He actually started showing signs of dementia when he was in his mid 40’s we just all assumed it was anxiety / stress related. I’m just glad we’ve got him in a safe place now.
My mom is in the early stages and is DEPERATE to prove that she’s still functional. She’s also going through chemo for cancer which has fried her brain even worse. I can’t be mad at her, but I keep trying to take her technology and simplify what she insists on keeping but she can’t even handle an appletv anymore.
It’s really hard. I feel you bud, keep up the good fight. Best of luck with your dad.
