Dementia is also a bitch, my mum has it, it has all but taken away the person I knew, mum is not far off forgetting who I am, you can see how the lack of recognition has grown on each visit. The difficulty is that the person concerned has no idea that they are ill, no idea that they are suffering from Dementia, if I mention or talk about dementia mum will say that she is so grateful that she doesn't have anything like that, it must be horrible for those that have it.
Enjoy your time with your dad, make the most of those lucid moments as they will not always be there.
