I have to learn how to cope with this and indeed what to expect over time

That is exactly what these courses do they cover many areas.

Di- I identify with the first sentence----my brother has terminal cancer and the morphine drugs he's on has changed his personality completely-----its so hard to understand the changes in one's mental state as against the physical

Cheers PF, I am not bad on the carers bit, it is the fact that alzheimer's changes personalities, so much so that my dad is nothing like he used to be in some respects. I have to learn how to cope with this and indeed what to expect over time. Like today I good have killed him for cancelling Meals on Wheels, I was happy that he had a 2 course meal through the week and I would provide his meals at weekends. Now not only can I not be sure what he is eating but also he is without that extra person popping in on him to make sure he's ok.
