All about Dementia
-
dementia is a frightening illness.
perhaps at the early stage, there is medication to slow down the illness…but towards the end stage, the patient doesn’t know how to eat and swallow. my aunt’s MIL was in a nursing home…she was very talkative in the beginning but cannot remember anyone. but towards the end, she really slowed down to the point that she can’t eat. -

As a kid, my dad used to bring my along his mahjong sessions, so I recognize all the designs on the tiles, but am totally blur when it comes to the game. Guess I have little interest in the game itself. But I play mahjong on my Android TV... the tiles game, not the actual game

My parents with my father over 85 and my mother over 75 are still playing mahjong with friends or neighbours at home every day and both still have an elephant memory.

Yes it’s really good training, keeps D at bay.

Oh... healthwise I guess I'm \"ok\". Exercising for me has become an essential all consuming thingy because there is nothing better to do. I've got plenty of points on the Healthy 365 app :nunchuk:

If you learn, you will love the game.

The complexity makes it fun.
You can try learning the rules and practising it here: http://www.singaporemahjong.com/mah5/
before you start playing with friends on a real table.
Otherwise learning with friends is also fun.
My mum refused to learn whenever I offered to teach her...now she is having serious dementia, it's really sad but nothing we can do much....only talk to her as much as we can to slow down the process. It is frustrating for her too.
