Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
On a serious note, kept spent the holidays with his family,
and you said that you kind of noticed a little
bit of a difference with Grandmama.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
My grandmother.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Grandmama is ninety five years old, and it was so
beautiful to see her up dancing and kicking, and she's mobiles,
she does her stretches, and she's probably listening right now.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
So I love you, Graham.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
But we went to go see Wicked, and dementia is
something that I don't believe that I've had to deal
with in any of my family members or their friends.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And I don't know the signs.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't know what to look for, but I hear
people talk about it, and it's very prevalent in society.
And when we were at Wicked, my grandmother wanted to
eat popcorn, and I love popcorn.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Popcorn is its own food group for me.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And for many many years, probably ten or fifteen years,
my grandmother has not ate popcorn because of like something
in her throat, something with the popcorn kernels or the
seeds get caught in her throat or in her stomach sick.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's a legitimate medical thing.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
That she deals with and for years she hasn't eaten popcorn,
and this has been a reason why we go see
Wicket and the first thing she doing is eating popcorn.
When I look over and I'm like, Grandma, you don't
eat popcorn, Like, this is not what you're supposed to
be doing. You have a medical condition. I'm looking at
it in her eyes, like, Grandma, you're uvula like they
get stuck or something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
She's like, well, what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I don't I don't have no medical She like, I
know exactly what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I love popcorn.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And I don't know if it's a thing where she's old,
you know, I mean, like ninety five years old. People
forget things. She's got a lot of she's lived a
hell of a life, yeah, or if there's something more serious,
and I don't know what to pay attention to. I
don't know if I should just bring it up to
the family. I don't know if I should brush this off.
I don't know if maybe I'm just webbing being it
in my mind. You see one thing and automatically it's
(01:48):
the worst thing in the world. But I'm like, man,
this is is a bit concerning.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Is grandmama, mom's mom or dad's mom. Did you tell
your mom?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
My?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Mom was there?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
And she was kind of just looking like she was
kind of taken a back by it as well, because
obviously she's aware that this has been a thing for
ten to fifteen years, and just for her just to
say no, yeah, and not even really connect that this
is something I have dealt with was like issue.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
But she didn't try to stop her from meeting the popcorn.
Can's my grandma for meeting that's.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Not going to happen, And she was fine, Yeah, I
haven't heard anything since.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You know, It's it's tough because we have dementia and
Alzheimer's and our family and it starts younger.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
You know where.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
My brother in law got it when he was fifty
years old. He was just turning fifty years old. So
it's it's such a difference because you're a fifty year
old guy forgetting things to a ninety five year old
woman forgetting things, you know what I mean. It could
also be she's ninety five years old and she's like,
the hell, I've lived a good life. I don't care
if my popcorn hurts me or whatever. The deal is
(02:54):
I'm going.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's not the conversation though, Yeah, you know what I
mean to say that she was acting, Yeah, she made
it seem as so this has never been a kind
of I hate that.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Yeah, literally, I don't think it's a bad idea to
bring this up to family for that reason, Like has
anyone else noticed things going on or just like keep
an eye out for it because.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I noticed this, Yeah, I would. I would do that.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I would talk to your mom about it because it's,
you know, something she spends more time probably with Grandma.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You brought up all Is there a difference between DIMNSA
and old Teimer's or is it kind of like just
so Alzheimer's is.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yes, there is a difference, and I don't know, I'm
not educated enough to know what the difference is. And
maybe somebody else can can talk to us about it,
but it's I will say this to you, like when
my brother in law got to diagnose with it. In
the beginning, it was like he's got this. This is
(03:48):
really tough. You know, he's going to go to doctors
and they're going to try to see there's no cure
for it, you know, and these last few years he's.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
A shell of himself, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And and then they go through stages too, where they
go for for death full stages to angry stages and
stuff like that. But yeah, I don't know what the
difference is, Alex, what's up?
Speaker 8 (04:10):
So I'll say something.
Speaker 9 (04:11):
My grandma had alzheimer and my grandpa did not. It
sounds more like my grandpa because my grandpa, ninety four
years old had a celiac DIVII, so.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I couldn't eat gluten.
Speaker 9 (04:21):
He started eating gluten again, and he picked up a
pack of cigarettes and started smoking again and said, Grandpa, go,
what do you do? And he goes, I've lived this long.
It's realistic that I don't have much longer. No matter
how healthy I am, I'm going to enjoy the last
couple of years of my life. I missed smoking and
I missed gluten.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So here it comes.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, what so, but grandpa had Do you say he
had Alzheimer's or.
Speaker 9 (04:45):
He had Grandma had Grandpa did not?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Oh, Grandpa was at the point.
Speaker 9 (04:50):
Grand times of a lot earlier in life than ninety four.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, also he's the caregiver too.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You know how hard it is for the caregivers of
those that have You know, Alzheimer's or dementia, which.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
By the way, is it what you were saying earlier
all timers, I always said, I don't know that, you
know what I mean? Like, how did you pronounce.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It, alex Alzheimer's Alzheimer You said Alzheimer's?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Is it all? I don't know, like a z.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I know, like I'm trying to figure out exactly and
we're trying to figure out the difference. Somebody said that
that there isn't a difference in Alzheimer's. It's a form
of dementia. I don't know, is that right? I don't know, John,
what's going on?
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
John? By what's up, buddy?
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Not much?
Speaker 10 (05:44):
Hey, I'm calling the guys about the uh Alzheimer's there.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, what what should cav do with his grandma?
Speaker 10 (05:53):
Well, Alzheimer's and dementia fall under the same category, and
what it is is dementia is less severe than the Alzheimer's.
My grandmother's had it, both of them, and they both
died of it.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
One died of dementia and the other one died of Alzheimer's. Okay,
so they're almost the same, just that one is a
lot severe. If it's just dementia, they can live with it,
and with Alzheimers they can live a longer time. They
can live like along with it as well.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, bring what do you think that keV should do
with his grandma?
Speaker 8 (06:27):
I think he should have her diagnosed, go see a
doctor and see what a doctor says in regards to it,
and then go from there and bring it up to
the family and talk to them.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
About it is your grandma, like a no doctor's here
and there? Y.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I just think at this stage, like if I'm ninety
five years old at that point right there, just let
me live my life.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
If if I'm in Kevsus, I'm worried that, like if
this is tip of the iceberg and this was a
medical thing.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
What are you going to do at that point?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I'm just saying I understand the worry. So if she's
one that you know, would would go to a doctor's point,
like Grandma, let's just go see and make.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Sure they make you go through all those tests and
everything like that. I think you need to know if
there's more signs first.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think it's I think at some point, does she
live by herself? Maybe she shouldn't live by herself.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
That would worry me.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't know, Like that's the thing I would I
would figure out. But if I'm ninety five years old
and I've gotten to that to that point, I don't
know if I want to go in and go take
a bunch of tests to figure out what my mental
capabilities are. If I'm ninety five years old, I'm just
going to live my life and have fun.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We we're all getting tested, though. What's the downside of it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Because it's not like it's there's anything that you can do,
you know, I don't.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Know, but at least then the family can be on
higher alert.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What's up, Jackie, Hi, what's going on?
Speaker 11 (07:59):
I was just going to I heard the question about
like dimansia.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And all, yeah, yeah, let's get off. We found out
that there's just a form of it. But what do
you think I should do with his grandma?
Speaker 11 (08:13):
What I think you should do? I mean, if she's
ninety five, I mean it doesn't hurt to I mean testing,
there's really no treatment for it. It progresses, so I
mean just it's more about supportive care and learning how
to kind of manage the symptoms of Alzheimer's that will
come up. I don't know, taking a class to be
(08:37):
helpful or.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You can I ask you a quick question, did you like,
I know, you just kind of like said something to
her like, Grandma, what's going on? Did you ask her
again about it later after the movie was over with Nah,
fallen asleep those three hos, because I would ask again
because then I feel bad we're bringing it up on
the radio and stuff like that, because I would just
ask her again, Hey, do you remember when you did this?
(09:00):
You know you're not supposed to be in that. Did
you know you were doing that? And just see what's
going on? Because it could just be she's at the
movie theater and she got the smell of popcorn in her.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I used to go to movies with your grandma when
you were little.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
At that grandma, well a couple of sounds with that one.
But my other grandma was a movie grandma.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
The only reason I ask is you also wonder, like,
you know how parents and grandparents will lie because they
don't want to buy you something, so like, oh I
can't have it, so we're not I don't know, just
bringing some levity to it.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You always wonder, Jake, what's up?
Speaker 8 (09:28):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (09:29):
My grandfather's a being hom vet and he just passed
away from dementia a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh God bless him.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
So I certainly know what dementia is and we've experienced it.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
What do you think keV should do with his grandma?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
I think so. I have a great grandmother who's ninety five,
and she just they just forget stuff. It's not that uncommon.
I don't think it's I know what demensia is. It's
not dementia. She's just you know, she's getting up there,
not willing. Yeah, that's all I think it is.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Aaron,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Hey, So, I just.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Wanted to call because I'm a nurse that specializes in
geriatrics with dementia and Alzheimer's, and at this point, there's
no point in taking her to the doctor. They even
if she gets diagnosed with it, there's no medications, there's
no cure. It's a degenerative disorder. And just kind of
keep an eye on it. You know, she's ninety five,
Let her live her life. There's no point in, you know,
(10:27):
doing anything about it. So just keep an eye on it.
And if you know there's a concern, you know, bring
it up to the family. You know, at this point,
if she really had it, she would have been showing
other signs other than just some slight forgetfulness.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
What are some other signs?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
So obviously the forgetfulness changes in behavior. One minute they're
happy and laughing. In the next minute they get a
little more agitated and irritated. Sometimes they revert back to
like childhood. It's different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That was super That kind of sounds like me. I mean,
I think you just need a snickers. What about What
about cousin Brandy? I saw her text brand up Paris's Brandy.
Cousin Brandy here, call me called Brandy. Did you see that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Lydia's Brandy with you guys?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Uh No, she was at Thanksgiving though. Does she have
a take you think? And uh?
Speaker 12 (11:22):
I mean she said call her mom and grandmama home.
Brandy drove them. Brandy drove them home. That's a good
by the way, hold on, here's Brandy, Brandy. Hye, Brandy, Hey,
what's up?
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Brand good morning?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I'm just at work. List And then like I usually.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Do what you think.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Man.
Speaker 9 (11:40):
So the condition she.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Has is called diverticulitis with like small small seats. I
don't think the popcorn will affect it. But our grandma
is going to do what she wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So yeah, can I can I tell you something? I
have the early signs of diverticulitis, Like they told me
that when I got a colonoscope, and uh, they told
me I can't have popcorn like that too. And I
ate popcorn this weekend. Yeah, they don't want you to
have that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Blueberries or things.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
With seeds popcorn, but yeah, like strawberry tomatoes, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Quick question for you, Brandy, how did you feel about
the fact that Kevin would not drive mom and Grandmama
that he wanted to get drunk.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
He took them there. I made a deal with him
and I took my grandma Homey turn up and chill. Yeah,
everybody got home.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I had a good time. I had a good good thing.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, Kevin agree, that probably was one of our best
Thanksgivings we had in a while.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was going to ask you that. Kevin said it
was the best Thanksgiving ever. What made it so great?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Well, this was the first Thanksgiving without my dad, so
I was kind of in my feelings. But just being
with everybody and seeing everybody, it really did good for
all of our hearts.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's cool, that's neat.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And the food was good because I looked at Kevin's plate,
it looked like there wasn't much for anybody else after him.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Oh, the food was delicious. So yeah, shout out to
everybody that made something I made. The deviled eggs.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Daviled eggs are the greatest. I loved eggs, by the way.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I like Thanksgiving and after a bunch of appetizers like
I like, you know, I like the shrimp cocktail, the
deviled eggs, a little charcouterie board, you.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Know what I mean. Yeah, we had that. We had everything.
It was really nice.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And then I ate so much of that by the
time food comes. Man, oh man, I didn't take my
shot this week? So uh was the eggs?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Like, I'm going, yeah, all right, Brady, Well we'll talk
to me. You've been doing good. I don't know, I'll talk.
I got to talk about back coming up here in
a second, too.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
But we love your grandmama. We love you, and I'm
so sorry about your loss.
Speaker 10 (14:12):

Speaker 8 (05:43):
Not much?
Speaker 10 (05:44):
Hey, I'm calling the guys about the uh Alzheimer's there.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, what what should cav do with his grandma?
Speaker 10 (05:53):
Well, Alzheimer's and dementia fall under the same category, and
what it is is dementia is less severe than the Alzheimer's.
My grandmother's had it, both of them, and they both
died of it.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
One died of dementia and the other one died of Alzheimer's. Okay,
so they're almost the same, just that one is a
lot severe. If it's just dementia, they can live with it,
and with Alzheimers they can live a longer time. They
can live like along with it as well.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, bring what do you think that keV should do
with his grandma?
Speaker 8 (06:27):
I think he should have her diagnosed, go see a
doctor and see what a doctor says in regards to it,
and then go from there and bring it up to
the family and talk to them.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
About it is your grandma, like a no doctor's here
and there? Y.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I just think at this stage, like if I'm ninety
five years old at that point right there, just let
me live my life.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
If if I'm in Kevsus, I'm worried that, like if
this is tip of the iceberg and this was a
medical thing.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
What are you going to do at that point?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I'm just saying I understand the worry. So if she's
one that you know, would would go to a doctor's point,
like Grandma, let's just go see and make.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Sure they make you go through all those tests and
everything like that. I think you need to know if
there's more signs first.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think it's I think at some point, does she
live by herself? Maybe she shouldn't live by herself.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
That would worry me.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't know, Like that's the thing I would I
would figure out. But if I'm ninety five years old
and I've gotten to that to that point, I don't
know if I want to go in and go take
a bunch of tests to figure out what my mental
capabilities are. If I'm ninety five years old, I'm just
going to live my life and have fun.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We we're all getting tested, though. What's the downside of it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Because it's not like it's there's anything that you can do,
you know, I don't.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Know, but at least then the family can be on
higher alert.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What's up, Jackie, Hi, what's going on?
Speaker 11 (07:59):
I was just going to I heard the question about
like dimansia.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And all, yeah, yeah, let's get off. We found out
that there's just a form of it. But what do
you think I should do with his grandma?
Speaker 11 (08:13):
What I think you should do? I mean, if she's
ninety five, I mean it doesn't hurt to I mean testing,
there's really no treatment for it. It progresses, so I
mean just it's more about supportive care and learning how
to kind of manage the symptoms of Alzheimer's that will
come up. I don't know, taking a class to be
(08:37):
helpful or.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You can I ask you a quick question, did you like,
I know, you just kind of like said something to
her like, Grandma, what's going on? Did you ask her
again about it later after the movie was over with Nah,
fallen asleep those three hos, because I would ask again
because then I feel bad we're bringing it up on
the radio and stuff like that, because I would just
ask her again, Hey, do you remember when you did this?
(09:00):
You know you're not supposed to be in that. Did
you know you were doing that? And just see what's
going on? Because it could just be she's at the
movie theater and she got the smell of popcorn in her.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I used to go to movies with your grandma when
you were little.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
At that grandma, well a couple of sounds with that one.
But my other grandma was a movie grandma.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
The only reason I ask is you also wonder, like,
you know how parents and grandparents will lie because they
don't want to buy you something, so like, oh I
can't have it, so we're not I don't know, just
bringing some levity to it.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You always wonder, Jake, what's up?
Speaker 8 (09:28):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (09:29):
My grandfather's a being hom vet and he just passed
away from dementia a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh God bless him.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
So I certainly know what dementia is and we've experienced it.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
What do you think keV should do with his grandma?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
I think so. I have a great grandmother who's ninety five,
and she just they just forget stuff. It's not that uncommon.
I don't think it's I know what demensia is. It's
not dementia. She's just you know, she's getting up there,
not willing. Yeah, that's all I think it is.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Aaron,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Hey, So, I just.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Wanted to call because I'm a nurse that specializes in
geriatrics with dementia and Alzheimer's, and at this point, there's
no point in taking her to the doctor. They even
if she gets diagnosed with it, there's no medications, there's
no cure. It's a degenerative disorder. And just kind of
keep an eye on it. You know, she's ninety five,
Let her live her life. There's no point in, you know,
(10:27):
doing anything about it. So just keep an eye on it.
And if you know there's a concern, you know, bring
it up to the family. You know, at this point,
if she really had it, she would have been showing
other signs other than just some slight forgetfulness.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
What are some other signs?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
So obviously the forgetfulness changes in behavior. One minute they're
happy and laughing. In the next minute they get a
little more agitated and irritated. Sometimes they revert back to
like childhood. It's different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That was super That kind of sounds like me. I mean,
I think you just need a snickers. What about What
about cousin Brandy? I saw her text brand up Paris's Brandy.
Cousin Brandy here, call me called Brandy. Did you see that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Lydia's Brandy with you guys?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Uh No, she was at Thanksgiving though. Does she have
a take you think? And uh?
Speaker 12 (11:22):
I mean she said call her mom and grandmama home.
Brandy drove them. Brandy drove them home. That's a good
by the way, hold on, here's Brandy, Brandy. Hye, Brandy, Hey,
what's up?
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Brand good morning?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I'm just at work. List And then like I usually.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Do what you think.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Man.
Speaker 9 (11:40):
So the condition she.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Has is called diverticulitis with like small small seats. I
don't think the popcorn will affect it. But our grandma
is going to do what she wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So yeah, can I can I tell you something? I
have the early signs of diverticulitis, Like they told me
that when I got a colonoscope, and uh, they told
me I can't have popcorn like that too. And I
ate popcorn this weekend. Yeah, they don't want you to
have that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Blueberries or things.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
With seeds popcorn, but yeah, like strawberry tomatoes, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Quick question for you, Brandy, how did you feel about
the fact that Kevin would not drive mom and Grandmama
that he wanted to get drunk.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
He took them there. I made a deal with him
and I took my grandma Homey turn up and chill. Yeah,
everybody got home.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I had a good time. I had a good good thing.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, Kevin agree, that probably was one of our best
Thanksgivings we had in a while.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I was going to ask you that. Kevin said it
was the best Thanksgiving ever. What made it so great?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Well, this was the first Thanksgiving without my dad, so
I was kind of in my feelings. But just being
with everybody and seeing everybody, it really did good for
all of our hearts.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's cool, that's neat.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And the food was good because I looked at Kevin's plate,
it looked like there wasn't much for anybody else after him.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Oh, the food was delicious. So yeah, shout out to
everybody that made something I made. The deviled eggs.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Daviled eggs are the greatest. I loved eggs, by the way.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I like Thanksgiving and after a bunch of appetizers like
I like, you know, I like the shrimp cocktail, the
deviled eggs, a little charcouterie board, you.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Know what I mean. Yeah, we had that. We had everything.
It was really nice.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And then I ate so much of that by the
time food comes. Man, oh man, I didn't take my
shot this week? So uh was the eggs?

Like, I'm going, yeah, all right, Brady, Well we'll talk
to me. You've been doing good. I don't know, I'll talk.

We love you too. All right by all right, thank
