    Okay folks, Since I brought DH home from the ALF he has really gone down as far doing things that don't make sense. What does make sense with this disease?
    I went to check a NH this morning and for a private room it would cost $6,300.00. That is a bit too much so I swallowed my pride and called the place where he was in the ALF and asked about the Alz. unit. They said they would give me a private room and it would be $4,000.00. A minute ago I had a call from them and the room will cost the same as the ALF. $3,710.00!!!!!! How about that.

    Now for the prayers and crossed fingers. I am going to tell DH he is going so they can monitor his meds and make sure he is getting the ones that work best for him. I am hoping that will satisfy him so he goes without a problem. So please start the prayers and crossed fingers.

    Jean21 I'll do anything you ask so that this time things go better.

    Me too, praying right now and crossing fingers and toes for extra help.

    Best of luck with this process.

    Whatever it takes, Jean21! Prayers, crossed fingers and toes - and good positive thoughts! Bless you - and him.

    Jean--I am totally supportive of the Alz wing idea, and that price is great. The cost of the NH you quoted is typical of what an ALF costs in my area, so I feel your pain.

    I know this is crazy but when I think of placing DH with people who can't make sense when they talk I kind of get cold feet. He doesn't make sense when he talks!

    Tonight he has spent about 2 hours looking for something. He thinks he has told me what he is looking for but I am not even sure what he said. He has looked in his billfold, nightstand drawers and even the dish drainer in the kitchen sink. So it is a big mystery to me! He is in bed now and chances are he won't remember it tomorrow. I HOPE! I hate days and nights like this. Actually I HATE this disease.....Golden years my foot!!!!!!!!
