""Not buying it, huh?" My mother acknowledged her assertion that the woman she pointed out at the rehab center as being her dead husband was a bit of a stretch. But this was the kind of conversation I had with Mom as her cognitve abilities declined and her psychosis fully bloomed. The true heart-wrenching, yet hilarious stories at the center of Dementia Sucks were born of a journal and blog that author Tracey S. Lawrence kept as her mother transformed from classic Jewish mother, to mildly forgetful Floridian grandma, to geriatric delinquent removed by police for knife-play at a rehabilitation facility. Really. Tracey's journey takes her from being an established graphic artist in northern New Jersey, through bouts of full-time, hands-on caregiving of both her aging parents. In this book she discusses many of the common challenges families face, and provides a humorous and highly educational perspective on her emotionally-charged ride through geriatric illnesses, doctors, hostpital, insurance, facilitlies, family dynamics and much more."--Page 4 of cover
