ALZHEIMER'S BLOGGING:

I went to the bank today and thought of my father in law. He always had money on him. He was real generous, like when times were hard, he would leave money on the kitchen counter or come over with grocery's. When we moved in with him with his Alzheimer's he was afraid that he was not getting his checks anymore. He would show me his wallet, and ask me where his money went so we gave him $300.00. One day he actually lost his wallet with the money and his drivers license. He was real upset so we had to get some fake money that really looked like real money. It was hard but we actually found some. So we gave him $300.00 worth of fake money and he was real happy. The day care center loved the fake money. They said he wanted to pay for lunch and they didn't want to take his money until they noticed it was fake. The good news is we finally did find his wallet and his drivers license, but the money was still missing.
