I wonder if I am well off..and just do not know it...I say GOOD MORNING to my HUSBAND...and he never says anything...so he goes through the day...NOT TALKING...GRUNTING and GROWLING and clearing his throat...and acts like I should KNOW what this means......anyone else got a BEAR of animal like answers to questions....WHEN YOU KNOW they can talk when they want too....LIKE if the remotes is moved...they know how to ask for the remote..after all the hand signals and growling does not work...he can talk! When I ask him questions...he just makes noises...so I will PUT off cooking or making dinner till he ASK for something..I will act like I do not know what his GROWLS mean or hand signals..and he can make his own still....so unless he talks to me...I am IGNORING HIM.....cause he can TALK PERFECTLY WELL....he can order food in a resturant, he can go in to the town office to pay the water bill...go in the post off, he can order paint at ace hardware...he can talk...he just does not like to...
It is amazing how some people with dementia can put on this act of holding up well when they need to!
