An update on the mother-in-law

Tweet

Somebody here asked for an update on my mother-in-law. She keeps rearranging everything in her room and then thinking people are stealing things. I have heard that this is quite common with Alzheimer’s patients. There is a sad development. She uses Poise incontinence pads. We were buying them for her and then the memory care facilities said that they would provide her with very nice incontinence disposable underwear. As you know that is very expensive. But she refuses to wear them. She has given different excuses, including that they don’t fit and that they don’t work. But apparently she’s having more and more. “Accidents.” as of last Wednesday she had two boxes of the pants that we buy her containing 100 pads but yesterday when the sister-in-law went, she was out of pads. We’re not sure if she could’ve gone through 100 pads and four days or if she’s hidden them and can’t find them or exactly what the situation is. We really want to talk her into using the disposable underwear that the facility provides. My hubby will visit her tomorrow. Other than that, it’s just the same situation that we’ve been having for 10 months.
