Well, that'll have to wait about 3 weeks until I can drive again.

Life is full of compromises.

You could order one online and have it shipped to you, that way you don’t have to go out and get it.

Well, i've asked my daughter if she and her boyfriend would help me measure for and install sheer panels, and she said yes. He (the boyfriend) also figured out how to install our Amazon Fire Stick, which took all of five minutes. I don't always get as much family support as I would like, but it's nice to get any at all.

The GPS tracker kind of thing is going to wait until I feel it's more appropriate. I try to intervene in ways that meet the demands of the current situation. Or put a different way, I don't intend to infantilize my husband earlier than his illness infantilizes him. He does have some insight that his mind is going. It frustrates him. But I've made it clear that I'll restrict or modify his life only in ways that seem necessary. The "least restrictive environment." It's how I would want to be treated, if the roles were reversed.

Oh, and I've found an Alzheimer's support group online, so I will try to clutter up WrongPlanet less about this topic as it seems relevant to relatively few. Thanks for your support up to now.

My heart goes out to all the caregivers out there.
My closest friend and her siblings are now taking turns caring for their mom who has Alzheimer’s,they rearranged their lives to do it.
Bless you all.
