Paula- Sometimes when there are calcifications in the brain the patient can become agitated. I'm not saying that is what is going on here but it may be an explanation. Neil got very agitated at times. Is he on much for pain? These may need to be adjusted also.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. Don't ever feel bad about venting here. Many on this board got me through the darkness of my life at that time. I know it sounds trite but hang in there. Being strong at times like these is so very hard on the caregiver. Try to take a deep breath and a hot cup of tea once in awhile. You MUST take care of yourself. Please pm me if you want to talk more candidly.
