Bill has been getting more and more agitated and paranoid these last two months. I was planning to talk to the staff tomorrow to ask them if it's time to adjust his meds again. However, I just now got a phone call from them. The psychiatrist saw Bill today and has decided it's time to up Bill’s Rx, again.
I'm so glad they are on top of it. I have been struggling watching him get more and more agitated the last few weeks. His ramblings have gotten wilder and wilder from paparazzi coming after him to looking for missing children. He's also gotten into verbal tussles which have almost ended in a physical fight, had the nurses not intervened. This is the kind of behavior that put him in the psych ward last year.
I'm so thankful for the VA Memory Care. How would I do this without them? I am so lucky to have this service. My heart just breaks for all the spouses (and children) out there who are taking care of their loved ones with Dementia and do not have the means to obtain help. We have got to find a solution . . .
It's wonderful that you found an excellent place for your husband. He is in good hands.
