Mother-In-Law Is Getting Paranoid

Tweet

Mother-in-law keeps losing things. Some of them she's legitimately losing. Some of them she never had or they never existed but she thinks she's lost them. But instead of thinking she's misplaced them, she's convinced that somebody comes into her apartment and steals them. One of her "family bible" which we don't think ever existed because we've never seen it and she's never talked about it before in 83 years. One is her address book. One is the blanket off of her couch. We can't get her to understand that nobody would want to steal her address book or her blanket and that she's just put them somewhere else that she doesn't remember. Related to this . . . we're getting closer to being able to admit her to Memory Care. Her doctor's appointment is this Friday Jan. 16th which is hopefully the last requirement for admission. We think we straightened out the whole payment thing. Oh, for those of you who haven't been following - mother in law has Alzheimer's dementia.
