Re: Friend with Alzheimer's

It is a painful & hard place for ALL involved. Years ago when we went thru this w my m-i-l, everything got locked up. She and I got
along very well, but, there were a few times where she threatened to shoot me, and she "immensely disiked" guns. The safe was
mine & my wifes, m-i-l did not have the combo, that made things easier for us. She didn't have access to anything sharper than a
butter knife in the mid/late afternoon when she would typically sundown. Through no fault of hers, it was the disease, she at times
didn't know me or my wife. I'd been around for 30+ yrs, my wife a couple decades longer. We put simple flip locks on the inside of
the doors that we didn't want her to go thru (she couldn't lift her arms above her shoulders) & blocked her way to our room so we
wouldn't wake up w her standing over us in the middle of the night. It's painful and necessary for everyones safety, I would lock things
up & change the safe combo. I have told my wife & kids to do the same if I start to slip. I love my family & would never want to hurt
any of them. EVER
Very tough place to be, good thoughts to all involved.
