Hi Everyone, this will be by first post on here but I have used it as source of information for some time.
My mother in law was confirmed with the condition in 2010 and for 2 years was on Aricept without any joy, in October last year they decided to remover her from the medication which we were in agreement with as getting her to take another table which was not helping was no stress than it was worth.
So at Christmas she moved in with us, since this time her condition has still deteriorating and yesterday at her appointment they have decided she now has a moderate condition. When the doctor was at the house one of the questions they asked was about her dressing and personal hygiene, which is an area we have a number of concerns about.
Every morning my mother in law will go into the shower but is only in for approx. 2 min and then she is out, in this time she will according to her washed and showered. I have followed advice and although I check to see if the soap is wet and the shampoo has dropped which it never does. I then follow the following pattern 1 day let it go, next day will put her in the bath with bubbles, next day let it slid and the fourth day point out that I am just prompting her the soap is dry so she needs to pop back into the shower and have a wash.
When the Doctor mentioned about her washing I did mention this was an area of concern but didn’t go into any details, at this point my mother in law threatened to kill me. Saying she was going now and didn’t want to life here anymore and I was dead when I sleep tonight.
I know it was the condition and I am tall, wider and stronger than this 81 year old but it has really hit me hard.
Helpppp
