[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 547882, member: 3419"] Well, you've certainly thought this through. It sounds soooo much like what we went through with-my dad, minus the schizophrenia. And with-Alzheimer's/dementia, yes, every day is different. Except that it never gets better, and always get worse. It's a gradual downward spiral. I'm thinking that if you're lucky, in a strange sense of the word, she will fall and be hospitalized, and that's when you get her medicines and have the dr be the bad guy and tell her that under no circumstances can she live alone. Or, she will crash the car and the police will make sure she goes to court, and the judge will tell her the same thing. We all went over these scenarios with-my dad and boy, do I know where you're coming from! I highly recommend that if you have to tell her which medicine is which, tell her that the little gray pills (or whatever) are for memory and leave it at that. In my dad's case, we told him that his pills would improve his golf game and he swallowed them right down! You'll figure it out. I'd hate to be in your shoes right now. I've been in them enough alreayd. I feel for you. But you still managed to have a good trip! Good for you! [/QUOTE]
