In the last three years, my wife and I had two special friends who passed from Alzheimer’s and it was a heartbreaking ordeal for their spouses. We have not encountered a situation like you described but I’m sure in TV it could happen on any given day. I see where a bracelet on you (as the caregiver) and patient would be very useful in a similar situation. It makes me wonder why the Alzheimer’s Association discontinued its use. I also agree “common sense” is very useful. Unfortunately that is not always the case. For most of us, further education is needed. We never get too old to learn.
I have never experienced something like my mother and her caregiver went through on July 15, 2022 but assume it happens rather often here in the Villages. Thanks for the kind words.
