My MIL was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. She is the most difficult person that I’ve ever seen and it’s causing so many problems. She lives with us too.
When she first came about 1 year ago she saw dead puppy’s outside which was a stump, she saw people and kept asking for her Cadillac )which doesn’t even run) keys EVERY time someone left or had to go somewhere and didn’t take her with them
She has called the police and said someone broke into house when she didn’t go with us.
She can’t take her meds or cook her own meals (she just cooked bacon and fried some potatoes this morning)
She has dented a frying pan by hitting on the new refrigerator when she was alone at the house She has scrubbed off all the numbers and letters on the new glass top stove.
My husband now has to take her with him on his traveling job.
She is driving me nuts ! I am ready to leave.
She recalled this morning that my husband is taking his son home today.
She has no issues with words and can write down a grocery list and make perfect complete sentience’s
She does things to my husband that she doesn’t do to me.
I have so many more examples.
