I guess he is also hallucinating. It just puzzles me how the brain can degenerate so badly and still the very core stuff is left. I would imagine when this happened the brain would just die and stop working and the body would die.

Is this expressed as a different form of dementia as well as alzheimers? The hand touching and buxia (jaw grinding) doesn't seem standard. Its weird, sometimes there is apathy too, almost like someone is in a dream like trance in another world. This makes me belive unfortunatly that sufferers are very awake and very aware of whats going on. They're thoughts are corrupted they still are alive inside, cant communicate, they obviously remember things that happened long ago as it had just been.

He wants to walk around I guess. No one can sit at one room all the time. I pray he is able to spend a good quality life. All prayers
