Roll me off a cliff womewhere, mkay?
Nan is making life a living hell at the moment, Mum's literally bust a gut looking after the woman, finding her a care flat first and now, since she's diagnosed with dementure, an old peoples home, and she is just utterly intolerable. The worst part is, it's only Mum she does it to, when Mum's not there she's absolutely fine, the moment she turns up all of a sudden she starts tottering and mumbling and complaining about everything :/

Dementia?
My aunts' mum (in law) has Altzheimers, it's nasty stuff. She's had to go into a home; before she would accuse her nurses of stealing from her. Now she barely recognises her own son, and has had to be sedated because she becomes violent.
For example, we were at a funeral and she came (accompanied, of course; to stop her heating soup with her fork and stuff).
Anyways, at the end, she turned to my mum and said "How's your mother?".
It was, of course, my grans funeral.

Yeah it's Dementia. Only reason I know that is because it's the name of one of my fav D3 maps.

I presumed it wasn't dentures.

I'm sorry to hear that, Flip. It's quite tough for the family of pateints who have neurological diseases.

Braces? How old were you when you had them?

My dad had Parkinson's so I know exactly what you're going through Flip. I tend to feel the same way about it. Once I've lost my personality I'm no longer me anymore so there's no real point in staying around unless thre's a cure on the horizon.

I don't think there's an age limit
According to wikipedia, ~25% of people with braces are over 21.

Eeep.
Well, at least you're not the only one with dodgy dental difficulties; I need to get a splint today to stop me grinding away my teeth at night.
How the hell did we end up on this subject anyways?
Ah.
My fault.
