She NEVER Gave Mama’s Baby Back! 😂 #dementia I thought I posted an update on the missing baby, but maybe I didn’t. NO, we never got the baby back! That lady claimed that baby as her own, and I LET HER HAVE IT. I just bought Mama another one. Y’all know I don’t play with these residents. 😂 I’m over here doing the Lord’s work, and I’m trying to make it home safely.

I Can’t Do Anything With Her! 🤣 #dementia Just keep me in y’alls prayers! 🤣🤣 from Divas and Dementia

A Missouri couple driving hours across rural America to bring dementia care to medical deserts https://www.npr.org/2026/08/19/nx-s1-5927463/this-impacts-everyone-missouri-couple-brings-dementia-care-to-medical-deserts An estimated 7.4 million Americans live with dementia. That figure is expected to climb in the coming decades. One Missouri couple is on a mission to bring more dementia care to medical deserts. #wellness #dementia #ruralhealth

"Study finds three midlife health factors that could delay dementia for 13 years Study finds three midlife health factors that could delay dementia for 13 years" Tuttuja asioita: älä polta, pidä verensokeri ja verenpaine kurissa eli liiku ja syö fiksusti. Sitä olisin toivonut enemmän selitettäväksi, että miksi ruskeat ihmiset eivät mahdu näihin raameihin. #dementia #vanheneminen #terveys

Vaccines are awesome. I try to get as many as are applicable to me. So this is pretty cool: In addition to its intended purpose, evidence has been growing that the shingles vaccine actually reduces the risk of dementia. Even more reason to be glad that my wife and I are vaccinated for shingles. #vaccines #shingles #shinglesvaccine #dementia

An experimental Alzheimer's drug lowered tau protein and showed early signs of slowing decline in a study of about 400 people. Larger trials still need to confirm the benefit, but it points to a new treatment path beyond amyloid.

Goddamnit this muther f⁕⚠︎er 🤬🤬🤬 #Trump ordered new signs outside a #Smithsonian #museum that warn its depiction of #UShistory is "inaccurate." Trump claimed the signage at the National Museum of #AmericanHistory would correct what a disputed White House report described as “extreme political activism.” NO! Your initially #insane brain that has clearly succumbed to #dementia is HELLA wrong you #billionaire #racist #misogynist! F⁕⚠︎ you! #law #museums #UShistory

'Our ability to smell is linked to brain health, and losing this sense is often one of the first signs of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. About 85 percent of people with early-stage Alzheimer’s have problems smelling'. https://wapo.st/4fLVSkb *I don't have a guest link, I am looking for one, if you have one please share. #PublicHealth #Health #BrainHealth #Dementia #NeurogenerativeDisorders #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #Covid19

‘The nourishing soil of the soul’: The role of #HorticulturalTherapy in promoting well-being in community-dwelling people with #dementia #Gardening can help people with dementia feel more active, connected, and less lonely by improving their physical and mental well-being. The article highlights the need for more #Accessible gardening programs in the community to support social engagement and a better quality of life. Summary: "This article explores how gardening and nature-based activities can improve the well-being of people living with dementia, especially those in a long-term care community. Many individuals with dementia experience loneliness and a decline in their ability to engage in daily activities. Gardening offers a way to stay active, connect with nature, and interact with others. Which can help reduce stress, boost mood, and improve both physical and mental health. Despite strong evidence of its benefits in care homes, horticultural therapy is not widely used in community settings. The authors highlight the need for more opportunities for people with dementia to engage in gardening, as it can promote social connections and a sense of purpose. They argue that making gardens accessible and integrating horticultural therapy into community care programs could significantly improve quality of life. By encouraging outdoor activities, people with dementia may feel more included, confident, and independent in their daily lives."

A team of scientists in Japan has identified the "seed" of a protein believed to trigger Alzheimer's disease, a discovery boosting hope for the development of a new therapy for the neurodegenerative condition. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/21/japan/science-health/alzheimers-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #alzheimers #lecanemab #donanemab #health #medicine #dementia #brain

Sleeplessness can be a sign of #dementia. "Sleep troubles may affect up to 25% of people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's and about 50% of people with moderate to severe Alzheimer's." (Mayo Clinic, October 30, 2024)

Looking for an Android app that will create binaural beats in audio streamed to the device by other apps - audiobooks via Audible, audio via YT etc. (Search engines return a morass of binaural beat app but nothing that works on the fly. I know I can download the streams then use Audicity or similar to change the frequency in one of the channels. I do not want to do this. 😉 ) #AndroidApps #BinauralBeats #Audiobooks #AgedCare #MemoryTherapy #Dementia #Alzheimers #LifeAsAnExperiment

@ralfmaximus@mastodon.social Yep. One of the signs of #dementia is that things that happened YEARS ago fell like they just happened yesterday. My 84 year old father (who has dementia) told his doctor a few months ago that he was crying b/c his mother had just passed away. And he is still telling people about how he "just" had an accident where he his his knee in 2017. When I told him it was "2026", he said I was "out of my mind." 🤨

Heather Cox Richardson! "Like many other observers, Nichols noted that Trump was “incoherent” in Ankara. He referred to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Japan” and referred to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” In an off-with-their-heads! moment, he also announced he had ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all trade with Spain." https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/july-8-2026?r=63j6s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #TrumpAndEpstein #Dementia #Spain #Trade #Economics #Delusion

I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing that one of the most confusing jobs in the world would have to be a Sign Language Interpreter at a Trump speech. #trump #MAGA #republicans #dementia #iran #Israel #middleeast #epstein #EpsteinFiles #news
