Don't think I didn't notice that you refrained from making promises about drilling holes in other people's heads.
Me! I have headaches! You can drill a hole in my head!
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

but with persons with dementia, talking about things before they happen (and trying to get them to accept changes) actually makes it worse for all involved. Sometimes the changes just have to be made.
Yeah, I get that, and that's where we are. Unfortunately the last time we just bulled forward, Mom kind of freaked out and it ended badly.
Still, onward. Thanks all y'all: I have been doing my research, but the truth is that even for the doctors and social workers and geriatric care managers we've been working with, this is a particularly difficult situation because of Mom's mental health issues and declining physical health on top of the dementia.

See? I'd be providing a SERVICE and HELPING PEOPLE. Totes justification for me having a trepanation kit.
Sanity check on shoooooees?

Oh, and msbelle, Becker is adorable--he looks like a fox! Also, I like the name--there was a guy named Becker on Primeval, a totally hot soldier who was marginally less stupid than the rest of the cast.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Consuela, I echo what everyone else has said. This is insanely difficult, and you and they need the advice and assistance of a trained and objective third party.
Trepination is all fun and games, sure, until someone loses motor function.
Puppies! Aww.

Consuela, I think people are wise.
Meanwhile, I want to run away from home and join the circus. Can we get that Buffista island soon?
