[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1754436, member: 22072"] I've heard of dementia sufferers getting violent. So far he's very agreeable except when it comes to bathing. Only my husband, his son, can get him in the shower now. I can only imagine if they lived off from family and no one came to visit him for a long time... It would not be good. He goes though binges of eating sweets. We have to hide them. He ate a 18 oz jar of honey. Another time a whole family pack of oreos. He'll eat a whole bowl of nuts like cereal. There is a closet we keep those things in and locked up but he's always on the lookout. They say the part of the brain that regulates control is lost. He use to be a heavy drinker, never drunk, but he liked his booze. My MILs sister came to visit a couple octobers ago, before she got really sick and for whatever reason, she had them pick up some liquor. They gave him a drink and later they all went to sleep. He got up and wandered around and found it and drank too much. He passed out on the bathroom floor. Anywhoot, we no longer keep anything like that there. He had quit drinking a few years before that, his dementia made him kind of forget he liked it, but if its there, he remembers..lol [/QUOTE]
