[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 638670, member: 6734"] Peg, I understand EXACTLY...Grandpa would get very aggitated about any number of things and my husband and I would tell him "something...anything" and he would be OK... For example: He was a carpenter and built his own house...he would get on a kick where he'd say, "Ang, you and Jeff give me just a little spot of land and I'm going to build me just a little place. Then we can dig that pond and go fishing!!" Well, we'd say, "Sure Grandpa!! Where do you want your house to sit?" and he'd think and think (not remembering where the HECK I lived...only that I had a little land) but FOR THE MOMENT he was dreaming and happy. Well, my aunt would get mad about that saying it only got him wound up further...only he wouldn't...he'd usually be content in the thought and then move on to something else. He'd start in that he was going to go down to Ford and buy him a truck...whether than say, "Ok dad, but I can't take you until tomorrow" my aunt would go into this long lecture about how he lost his license...I just never agreed with that as he had to relive the hurt every time. Oh well...its hard when you have several people in charge of someone's care. My aunt DOES do the bulk of everything for him so I have to go along with her and be thankful. [/QUOTE]
