Thanks for your sharing, @debrat1 I find it interesting and appreciate being able to read this post.
The first inclination I had with my MIL was when she visited our home. One floor, two bedrooms. She kept getting lost and not being able to find the bedroom, which was visible everywhere in the house. Plus that trip she always had to have her overcoat in view.
Thanks again! Looking forward to 'the rest of the story' as Paul Harvey used to say!
This is so similar to what I experienced with my husband and was directed by the social worker at VA Clinic to take him to Senior Behavioral Unit at the local hospital for evaluation. I wondered how we were going to get him to go, but he had complained of some chest pain a short while ago so I said the Dr. wanted him to go have it checked out. Worked and he willingly went. I was able to take to the Dr. before he went into exam room and fill him in on why we had brought him in. I was hardest thing I ever did to have him placed in a Care center, but the best for everyone. I couldn't care for him at home any longer.
Thank you for the first half of the story. Was he diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? Do these outbursts happen to most Alzheimer’s people? This scares me. So far my sister is quiet and compliant. She has had dementia for about 7 years. Is this something my husband and I need to watch and prepare for? Sallysue
