I hear that when people get old they get frustrated and angry. I have a friend whose mother started biting people when senility took over. Do you think biting is a dangerous warning sign? Maybe it is.
At a family dinner I sat in the living room with my husband's grandmother while everyone else was busy. I had to tell her who everyone was as they walked through the room. My husband's sister walked in and granny said "She's wearing man shoes." She was wearing ladies tennis shoes. I told Sis but she wasn't amused. Granny was cute and funny though she didn't realize it. She didn't try to bite me once.Ha Ha.
Mom just has a fat fixation with her dementia. She either is in the mood where she tells me I'm fat, or I'm beautiful. Never know what I will get. Her hospice nurse called on Friday and said she told her that she won't eat lunch with a democrat, and she is not into husband swapping because the other guy was ugly.
Have no idea what she's talking about.
At age 75 I've learned that sometimes it's prudent to bite my lip instead of telling the Boss Lady how I really feel about something.Getting old sucks, and I certainly understand the frustration and anger parts. I haven't resorted to biting, but there surely have been times when I wanted to.
Growing old is definitely an art.I see growing old as fine art.... I'm still working on it. I figure I'll be doing alright if I don't bite my dog.
Nothing wrong with hissing, but it takes a fair amount of spit to do a good hiss.My wife has started hissing - yeah, like a cat - at idiots she encounters. Does that count?
