Today, I went to see my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me sometimes, and today she thought I was her sister and that I was trying to steal my grandfather from her. She hit me with a cane and called me a slut. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML
Today, my husband came home from a six-month business trip. When I saw him, I hugged and kissed him. My grandma started calling me a slutty whore, and told us we were a disgrace to our family, while trying to hit him with her cane. FML
Today, I went to pay my grandma a visit. She called the cops because she didn't recognize me and thought I was a robber. FML
Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML
Today, I was listening to music while my grandma and mom were in the same room. I only had one headphone in. My mom, thinking I had both in, started telling my grandma how much of a "little bitch" I am. My grandma went on to say, "She's also a slut." FML
Today, being the nice grandchild that I am, I went to visit my grandmother. She didn't recognise who I was. I thought she was joking. She later called the police as, "Some weirdo had walked into her house." I'm that weirdo; she wasn't joking. FML
Today, I went to the gym with my grandma. In the span of an hour, she was hit on more than I ever have been in my life. FML
Today, no one warned me that my grandfather was slipping into dementia. I proudly brought my new baby to meet him, only for him to burst into hysterical tears that I was a teenage whore, who’s now brought shame to the family. I'm 30 and married, but he still tried to hit me with his cane. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my senile grandma, when I told her I had to go because I had an appointment at the clinic. For some reason, she assumed I was talking about an abortion clinic, and started raging at me and calling me a murderer. FML
Today, I went to a family dinner. My grandma wasted no time calling me a slut for not wearing a dress, my dad called my police officer boyfriend a "fucking pig", and then he told my mother to "put a cock in it" when she defended me. No wonder I hardly ever visit these people. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Alzheimer's is no joke. It's organic brain damage that can entail psychotic and dangerous behavior. I'm an RN and have cared for little old ladies who will try to strangle you. I don't know where they get their strength. I'd look into medicating her and seek other treatment with a gerontologist. People love to screech, "You're doping her up for your convenience!" However, as proven, she is a danger to others and possibly herself. If she was schizophrenic and performing the same actions, people would castigate you for not medicating her. Good luck.

Finally, some level headed advice. As an M.D. who received my education at the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College under the tutelage of Dr Nick Riviera - and then completed my psychiatric residency and neuropsych fellowship under the direction of the world-reknowned Dr. Marvin Monroe (of his eponymous clinic), I couldn't agree more with the idea of providing unsolicited medical advice that includes doping up poor grandma before she mauls everyone in their sleep, while advertising your status as a licensed practitioner to complete strangers, under anonymous nicknames, on an entertainment website! KUDOS! Shhhh, I won't tell the insurance company if you don't!

As for the FML, I really do think it was just that she needed an outlet for her pain from being in this situation and seeing her loved one loose so much of herself. I can only imagine how horrible it feels to see someone you love like that. I don't think she meant to imply that we should laugh at her grandmother or that Alzheimer's is funny. It's just a crazy situation to be in and maybe talking about it will make her feel better.
