Hi all
My husband has Alzheimer's at 62. The main problem I have at the moment is that he seems to think JOKING in an aggressive way with sharp knives or any type of potential weapon funny!
I really don't know what to do about it, I have tried to explain to him in anyway I can. We had a meal with friends in a restaurant last night, but still had to be silly with the cutlery. One lady at a table nearby looked concerned when he attempted to take knives out of a container there.
The other week he walked into the sitting room with a sharp knife in each hand, looking mean but he said its his humour! He also managed to take hold of a Stanley knife and he really doesn't think this kind of joking is funny!
I despair. Any suggestions appreciated please. I have hidden sharp cutlery. He has even picked up brooms as though they are a weapon or gardening tools, even a glass. I do try and find out why but he says he thinks its funny.
