@georgescraftjr Excuse my ignorance but when you say, "threaten to strip" was he referring to taking yours and his clothes off. I think that's what strip means....I just can't believe the son wouldn't talk with you. It makes me sad that he would do that knowing what you are up against and the condition his father is in. I know you mentioned you gave George a little gel pill the other day. I think I read that in an earlier thread. Perhaps, that's what the doctor has ordered for calmer days, and therefore, less crazy conversations with his son (and calmer for you on the homefront). It's hard to know what to say or do here, because as you say, you were home in another room and he was having hallucinations. Sending good vibes and a better week coming up. Karla

@kjc48

George was referring to my taking off my clothes.

P.S. I never make a grand announcement before I disrobe: I just do it. ...and if I were to say something, I wouldn't use the word "strip." I might just say something like "I'm going to get out of these dirty clothes"--after coming in from doing yard work.

In any event, it's sad that George got frightened because he thought I was going to take off my clothes. Gone are the days when that was something that put a smile on his face! LOL
