My dad woke up from a 10 min. nap and could not remember that his sister has been on oxygen for the last 6 months and that my uncle had a stroke. That we did not have a rain storm the day before and his sister lives next door.
Had heart surgery in 2008.

My grandmother has a history of strokes, One MAJOR about 12-15 yrs. ago. But, she VERY recently has started falling around and pulling to one side. She has also started behaving VERY childish! We have HAD to start putting depends on her at ALL times, Bc she seems to be receiving a “late notice” that she needs to’go’/urinate. We are concerned because, as of right now, ONLY three of us have been taking turns staying at her home with her. This is VEY stressful for us, but we do NOT want her to be in a nursing home!Ten-12 years back, shortly after her first stroke, she started shaking, UNcontrollably! Her neurologist, at that time as Dr. Marx, and he has since retired, BUT I can recall her phoning me AFTER her ofice visit with him — She said that he told her she has the beginning stages of Parkinson’s Disease! I REALLY did NOT know what to think, BUT… after that initial ‘diagnosis’ she was NEVER put on ANY type of medicine to help with the shaking, which has gotten increasingly worse! Different doctors that she is NOW seeing, have said that hey are NOT able to find this diagnosis in ANY of her files? Is there ANY test hat we can have run to prove IF she does, indeed have Parkinsons, or what kind of specialist do we need to take her to see about this problem? Do some of the above mentioned symptoms ‘follow BOTH dementia and Parkinsons? PLEASE, get back to me ASAP at the e-mail address above. I DO, SO appreciate ANY suggestions or information which you can supply!
Thank-you~
