Frustration...

you know when you have bad day when your 74 year old dad gets asked to leave assisted living...and you have to find a place to park him until you find a new place. Dementia is very unpleasant...

Support Group Meetings...

So, my father's dementia doctor suggested we go to a Caregiver Support Group for dementia
caregiver/patients... I found one online at Crossing Church...and boy, did I find
some support groups. I wondered around the halls and found Divorce Care
(I,II & III), Gambler Anonymous, Compulsive Eaters Anonymous, Grief
Share (I, II & III), Anger Management (Men and Women), Alcoholics
Anonymous, etc. They were laying out quite a spread of food, too, for
the breaks. They had a caterer!

Every support group BUT the dementia caregiver one...sigh...so I looked it up on the *Crossing* website and found they changed the time to noon! So disappointed!
