Needing Advice(1)

0609

Hi all!

This is just my second post and I have some questions.  First I was wondering if anyone has experience with removing a cell phone from LO.  My DH uses his with some difficulty on a regular basis.  He has come close to giving out to much information on several occasions that I know of and I would like to limit his use of the cell phone without bringing down the wrath of God.  He is quite intelligent and knows exactly what’s happening to him but doesn’t want to admit a lot.  He blames these behaviors on many thing none of which are AD which he has confirmation of in the form of a Lumbar Puncture.  Any suggestions?

Second I have noticed that some of you have online groups that you attend.  These would be helpful to me in many ways.  Can anyone give me some direction on this subject.

Thank you,

Dale

IMO the phone should ‘break’ + if he wants it ‘fixed’ you can pretend to take it in  + explain to him that the necessary part(s) are unavailable due to supply chain problems.  They will ‘call you when they are in.’

The batteries can be removed from some phones, changing the password so he cannot have access could work. Letting the battery run out or simply ‘losing’ it somewhere could work.

There are a lot of discussions about this here.  In my case, the phone was ‘lost’ and never replaced.  My mom quit asking about it in about a month.

My dw started using her phone less and less and I always worried about scammers. For a time I went to the settings and turned off the wifi and mobile data. I tried the airplane mode but the the symbol showed on the home screen and was something she picked up on. when she asked I set my phone on air plane mode and said it was messed up too. But if dh is still able he will figure that one out pretty quick. I finally lost it behind her cookbooks in the kitchen, she always laid it on top of the books so a simple push and it was out of sight out of mind. I did have our landline forwarded to my phone to intercept any scammers.

0609  keep trying till you find what's right for your dh.

Hello 0609,  With my DW, I had access to her phone so I just went into "Settings" and activated "call forwarding" under the "phone" menu item.  I had all her calls forwarded to my phone where I could screen them.  After a few months the phone was forgotten.   Good luck, Rick

0609, I take part 2 of your questions: If you go to the the Main Alzheimer’s Association page you can search for care giver support groups in your area or you could call the 800 number and they could help you find one. Some support groups are back to meeting in person which I prefer to online meetings.

The link below will hopefully bring you to the page where you can search for support group:
