Alex, what a memory you've got. It was me. And a lot of times it is kinder to go along with the elderly's delusions. Even someone who is highly manic or schizophrenic is easier to control and get you to trust them if you go along with them. The best one was the old lady who kept saying she was giving birth. She kept a doll on her bed and thought it was a real baby. And that made her happy. Another one is someone who thinks there are bugs crawling on the floor or a dog in their room. Just shoo them out and they are happy too. Fondly, Phillipa
