[QUOTE="witzend, post: 684176, member: 99"] OMG, you [I]do[/I] have your plate full! And your hubs must be scared and obviously is not himself. I'm sure they'll put a sign on his door that says "no outside food or drink" so the kids can easily blame that if he does that again. Obviously he is disoriented, but maybe that will go away fairly quickly with hydrating and the right medications & diet. I'd like to make a suggestion that worked well with my elderly relatives who made impossible requests ("I'd like to go see my {dead} brother today"). Lie. "Sure hon, I'll get you a soda as soon as you're done telling me about the game. I'd really like to hear that." Then when you're done with your visit just leave. Don't try to reason with a person who doesn't have their wits about them, you'll never win, and they will forget. If he doesn't forget tell him that you brought the soda back and he was already asleep, so you poured it into a glass and left it for him, the cleaning crew must have thought it was garbage. He won't remember things like when he slept or you were there. Make your visit as pleasant as possible, you don't want it to be about arguing about something trivial. I hope that you both will be well. [/QUOTE]
