Reality Where Are You?

Hello Blog, how are you doing? Wish I had some better news after spending five days in Florida. The paranoia and confinement issues so common in elderly dementia cases are alive and well down here. My poor step-Dad is so confused with what is real and what is unreal it's getting quite crazy on a daily basis. The Chief seems to think his only link to the 'safe' world is through Penny Fisher, one of my Mother's fine nurses at the Sylvester Cancer Center in Miami, Florida. He is calling her several times daily in hopes of finding an answer why 'my nurses are spying on me.' This whole struggle is accelerating to a point where I am not sure how to handle it. I want so much for him to relax and enjoy these final months and years, but brain disease is not nice. Sometimes I feel like I should just let things unfold in an accepting manner but is that best for all parties involved? I just don't know what to do. I am struggling myself as to how to insert myself and convey the message that he is not well mentally. As a medical surrogate I do have responsibility to him to do what is right. But what is right? Reality where are you? May God provide direction to us all. Over, Ricky
