My cousin had to go into a memory care residence. She is younger than me, but she was doing all kinds of strange things, not paying bills, on every charity list, would take a month's worth of rx in a week, eat a week's groceries in a day (and get sick), she would call me 12 times in 1/2 hour to ask "what day is it?" She would unplug her phone, so I couldn't reach her, then she would say her phone wasn't working. I couldn't help her as I have my own medical issues and have no one to help me. Neurologist diagnosed her with dementia after many many tests. I've been a caregiver for mom, dad, uncle brother, I could use my own caregiver some days, but still plodding along. Wishing all caregivers peace and prayers.

I can’t believe what you have been through. All I have is my one aunt to ocassionally look after. I had quit a time with my mom before she passed. I feel so useless after hearing your story. Surely you will enter sainthood some day! Wish you lived in NOLA as I would offer some help!
