[QUOTE="klmno, post: 411086, member: 3699"] He did to me last night, too. But I only saw a fragment. What sticks out to me though is that he was saying his family sold that Tony or whatever award it was. Well, if you're having an alzheiners "moment' you wouldn't recall getting a Tony and might not even know what it was. If you weren't having an alzheiners "mmoment" then you'd remember selling it if you actually did it yourself, wouldn't you? I'm not positive about that but that's what I tend to think. When my grandmother was fading in and out, she either remembered normally or she was somehow in the time of 50 years earlier. She never remembered something from 1 year ago at the same time she was forgetting half of what was reality. It was a time-frame issue- not the same as true and complete dementia...at least that's my understanding. But all the fammily stories I've heard (mine and others) relate the patient having periods of anger...I think it stems from the frustration of realizing that they are losing that memory and mental faculties that surely would be hard to deal with when a person has moments where they are cohesive.
