When I said no last night he suddenly flipped our dining room table over with everything on it and told me I should be glad that it wasn’t me!!! Is it time to find a place for him? His memory loss is bad. He has had testing and his executive functions have declined in 6 months time. The VA took away his drivers license after road test. A second time in six months!!! Anybody have any thoughts? I am numb right now. I have alerted his doctor at the VA and awaiting some kind of help.
Blessings to you
At this point, you need to take care of yourself! This may sound mean and heartless, but you need to find him a suitable place and visit him! The staff can communicate with his doctor and give the doctor info that may help him/her prescribe meds to help! Good luck and God bless you!
I would also tell them that it is getting to the point where you do not feel safe in the house when he gets angry.
Talk to a Social Worker or talk to a Patient Advocate if you have problems connecting with the doctor.
I am so sorry you are going thru this. Best of luck and keep us updated
It certainly isn’t affection. You know that. You must be horribly disturbed by this. I am so sorry. You absolutely did the right thing by calling his doctor.
Honestly, I wouldn’t want to be alone with him right now. Do you suspect a UTI or another medical issue that is causing an outburst like this?
Is this an isolated incident or has it happened before. Please be completely honest with his doctor. They hear all kinds of situations and will know how to handle it.
Best wishes to you. Hugs! Be careful, please. Can you call someone to be with you? You really shouldn’t be alone with him. Could happen again and the outcome may not be a table. It could be you that he goes after if his frustration level becomes high enough.
You can call 911 when he gets violent and the police/ambulance can take him to the hospital.
