[quote=Anonymous]Good input from PP's about Alzheimer's.

I have one other perspective.  I've noticed that when our parents (late 70's, early 80's) are grumpy and even argumentative then it usually means they haven't been socializing much.  Not only socializing like for parties and such, but the basics of interacting with people at church, at the grocery store, going to the pharmacy, etc.  I was very concerned this past winter because one of my parents was really getting emotional, sometimes making sharp almost mean in some comments about other people.  Once the weather let up (it was so cold for a while) and life was back to normal then the mood shifted back.  Now I know and I am going to make sure that they are all getting enough socialization.

Also, as much as I'm sure she is excited by it, is she getting stressed about the trip?  That could cause her to be emotional and cross.  Some people have a hard time dealing with their anxiety as they lead up to the travel.  Something to consider ...[/quote]
