My Dad got to where he didn't know what a razor was for or how to shave. He wouldn't shave for days then try & it would pull and he'd swear a blue streak. After a spell of this I just took the razor away & the lady who cut his hair would trim his beard at the same time so it always looked neat. He had a beard for probably five years. Just another fairly easy work around in the world of dementia. Dad died five years ago yesterday.

George's brother had this disease and he got mean. He went to bed at 9:00pm and forced his wife to go with him. Once she tried to get up and he punched her. After dinner he wanted to go to a specific diary queen, not the one closest to his home. He was adament about it. Another time he insisted that it was Sunday and got dressed up and made her get dressed up to . She drove to church and of course no one was there. The pastor happened to be there and he told her that he thinks its about time to put him in a nursing home. The had no room for him at the VA so she had to put him in a private nursing home. She got a bill for $30,000. When a room opened up at the VA they decided that he should stay where he was at and paid the bill after that. George, I think is getting pre-alzheimers symptoms.
