    @dustydigger -Sending many hugs. It sounds like what happened to my grandfather. He had a series of mini-strokes. When we watched "Hogan's Heroes", he tried to go on the roof to shoot down the Germans. And when we watched a show from England (he was in California), he kept trying to go home and wouldn't believe that was where he was. My mother and I took turns going over to spend the night for several years to help my grandmother cope. You probably need help. Don't be afraid to ask for it as it will wear you out too. If something happens to you, then what would happen. Take care. Especially if he gets dangerous at times.
