Life with Dad

Caring for someone with dementia, you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Name:
Location: Texas

This blog is a reflection on being a member of the "sandwich generation". We are those sandwiched between aging parents who need care and/or help and their own children. After an extensive remodel of our house, we moved my parents in with us. Dad has Alzheimer’s, which adds complications to the situation.

Bedtime and Poop

Instead of telling anyone that he needs to be changed, when Dad is poopie, he decides to put himself to bed. This includes pulling his diaper off and getting poop everywhere--on the floor, on his bed, on his hands, and on anything he touches. My husband was only half joking when he talked about getting a buzzer that will signal us any time he goes into his bedroom.
