Update, I guess worse for wear?

Hi!

I haven't posted for months but since I'm back into the ALZ situation again I'll vent alittle. lol

I first want to say thanks to everyone for giving me advice and helping me identify the ALZ with my mominlaw!

Even my hubby who's Mr. Denial is starting to see things more clearly now. Today mil is huffing around the house because we won't help her wash carpets outside (I have a slight ear infection, don't want to get in the breeze.)

She's gotten worse for wear with her memory. She'll leave laundry in the washer for hours, sometimes days and it'll mold. I had to wash some things and I drained her laundry and set it next to the washer so she could dry it when she got home. She was only gone 2 hours and she got so mad I did this. She constantly puts my laundry aside and it doesn't bother me! She didn't remember she washed it at all so in it went again!

She has these OCD periods where she'll clean anything that's practially not nailed down. She tries to get my hubby and I to help but it's understood we only clean our own things!

She cooked moldy food all summer when we were away (what I wouldn't do for another plane ticket home lol). I'm always checking dates and things! Another thing is the crankiness. Is this common in early onset? I mean she's irritable and throws a tantrum about the weirdest things. I didn't say goodbye to my hubby's family as they left and she just went on a tangent. I get blamed for all the stuff that happens, honestly none of it makes sense!

Thanks for letting me rant, it's getting to be quite a handful sometimes!

Kat

Re: Update, I guess worse for wear?

Yes, the tantrums are common. My dad went through that stage last year. I'm happy to say his anger/cranky episodes did get better. They're farther apart and not as severe (I was afraid for MY safety!).

I WISH he'd clean up! lol


Dad's away visiting my sister 700 miles from here so I'm just enjoying the heck out of my life right now. I know it'll be coming to an end soon enough.

I must give you credit. I'd NEVER be able to live with my MIL! I love her to death and I'd do anything for her. The last time she was in the hospital, I stayed with her. All six of her sons would visit as would her two other DIL's. But I stayed with her because she needed help with certain things that she wouldn't ask the nurses for help with. It's the caregiver in me. A glutten for punishment! lol

Love, Barb
