My husband started ALZ about a year ago, although I think he started about a year before that. He wants only sweets to eat and says he is not hungry for anything else.. Tells the most outrageous stories and has to be reminded to do everyday things. He can't remember for even 5 minutes. Left garbage in my veggie basket and when I found it ,what a mess. These things happen a lot lately.I have to remind him to take a shower. How our life has changed. Normal?
My mother has also begun putting garbage where it shouldn't be. I've learned that it doesn't help to mention it to her. I just put all the potential garbage-can substitutes out of her immediate reach. If it isn't easy to get to something, she won't use it for trash.
