[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 271085, member: 1233"] I am sorry you are in that situation, but very glad he listens to you. When my adopted gpa had alzheimers he would get a notion to do something and would NOT let it go. Everyone in the family tried to talk him out of it. I went in (knowing that to actually even attempt the activity would be very dangerous) and convinced him we had just done it the week before. Worked like a charm - when I did it. Not so much when his wife tried. I also convinced him it was HIS idea to go to the nursing home from the hospital. NOT easy to do, but it made his last weeks happier because he convinced himself that he chose the place. I hated the lying, but it was in his best interests. [/QUOTE]
