This morning I took DH for his haircut and then to breakfast, brought him home and went to check the Alz. facility. After I got back home I told him where I had been. I did tell him lastnight but of course his memory doesn't last that long. Anyway, I referred to it as "Memory Care" not Alz. One reason I told him today is because I didn't want to spring it on him on Sunday when we have to pack his clothes etc. I have no idea if he understood a word I said. He starts bringing the woman across the street into it. He has been paranoid about her since we moved here almost 2 years ago. And of course there is always the "guy". I have given the best sales pitch I could and he agrees to try it and then he has questions which he can't articulate and I don't have a clue what he is trying to say so I can't give an appropriate answer. Right now he has gone to take a nap for which I am grateful. I never or very rarely got headaches but for the past couple of weeks Advil and I have become good friends. I just hope he doesn't back out when I have to take him on Monday. If or when I get him there I will not go visit for at least a week maybe longer!
jean21, I wish you both a calm and smoothe transition. When I put DH in a memory care unit at an ALZ facility it did not go well and he escaped. Some meds for the transition (Ativan) might help make the transition easier. Prayers for you both-I know how stressful this time can be.
