Dad keeps shutting windows everytime he gets the chance. I keep opening them. He also keeps asking me if I am cold.
It was the same last year and the year before I think.

Ah yes, the unfortunately not so rare dementia caterpillar (I have one here) wrapping and double wrapping itself as it tries to pupate - sadly no beautiful butterfly or shimmering moth from this one....... I only wish there was....Is anyone else trying to stop their PWD from wrapping up in bed as if it is still winter during the hot weather? This happened during the heatwave last summer and he is worse this year and I am dreading the rest of the week as he wraps up in duvet, neck blanket and dressing gown and no window open. He sweats badly and gets dehydrated as a result but I cannot stop him.
This made me laugh, it’s so true here too, an excellent description of the problem!! Open windows are a huge worry for him as well @Duggies-girl but at least I have got a fan. Squeezed a shower in yesterday as well when he was getting up late and before I went out for lunch because I got my cleaning lady to come extra. Had a lovely garden visit with old Open University friends organised from time to time which I couldn’t go to last time. As he gets worse and house bound it’s easier to get out with a bit of organising, and he is used to her. Ominous sign yesterday when he said that he wasn’t sure he could get up the stairs. Since all he does all evening is go up and down, several times, that really would be bad. It’s inevitable eventually because he is wasting away.Ah yes, the unfortunately not so rare dementia caterpillar (I have one here) wrapping and double wrapping itself as it tries to pupate - sadly no beautiful butterfly or shimmering moth from this one.......

Or wardersCannot help with the bed wrapping but they do not seem to be affected by the heat. My conservatory is like an oven blasting heat into the house. I locked it up yesterday, hid key and drew the curtains across to keep sun out. While I was on phone OH found key, opened curtains and conservatory door. Still it kept him occupied while I had a chat with an old friend.
He seems to be getting very adapt at finding my convenient hiding places for keys. Need to go on the big A and get one of those big key belts housekeepers used to have.
This d....d disease. I have managed to get a couple of weeks respite stay at the same place that he went to in May. How he will be then I dread to think because like you @AliceA not up yet, not eating properly, difficult to get the meals in and fluids too. It’s almost impossible to plan too far ahead, you have to be flexible enough to change course almost week to week. I have closed the windows because it’s hotter outside than in, and have the fan on. I think a bowl of ice under the fan will be good when fit gets even hotter.
That’s what I thought too, about negative judgment, he just doesn’t have any of that, and he likes having a glass of cordial in one of my grandmother’s little glasses. It’s my husband who speaks in a wheedling voice, yes I think it is a word, and I dislike it so much. Intrigued about the divorce quote. I know that you are isolated in the village where you live and that must be hard.Yes, the very young seem to have no negative judgement, I cringe when my husband is spoken to is a wheedling voice. Is wheedling a word? Looks odd.
Mine has a tummy upset, so I was up a lot in the night. Thankful for washing machine!
A walk and bus back sounds good, we have no bus now but it always provided chat and banter.
I am sure the six year old will benefit too.
Just going to post on Divorce.
