   Medical Bracelet!!! (Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia board)

28th May 2006
Hi Martha and Beginning,

Thanks for replying to my thread. I told my mom (probably should not have) that I got my dad the bracelet. She said, I do not think he is eady for that yet (meaning, not that far along). Then I reminded her of something she had said that he had done.

My mom and dad sometimes go to the mall with his rolling walker (seat and basket and everything!). Well they walked a little way, then he neded to rest. And he sat on a bench in the mall area and she shopped a little while. She was probably gone 15 min.

When she got back, there he was laying down on the bench sleeping. She woke him up and they went on hom, after she told him he sould not do that. She just trieds to still get him and her out of the house at least 1 x day, most days. They both need it.

Well, my dad mostly does not shave and when he does, he misses a lot. And he does not/cannot fix his hair when it gets messed up. Plus, they wear cleaned, but clothes with stains a lot.

Anyway, I told my dad Tuesday, that he should not fall asleep in public. Someone might think he was a vagrant or homeless person, and take him to jail. I do not know if he could tell them, all of his info. Probably not.

So, 1 manly bracelet, stainless steel. The lock (latch) is also not supposed to be able to be taken off. Once on, it stays on, til NH or ... It does have one of those emblems, on the front beside his hame. His emblem is red.

So, I guess we shall see sometime around the 17th-18th, if he will wear it. Or if my mom can keep from spilling the beans and also not take the bracelet off of him, when he asks.

Thanks for listening and the replies. My dad is getting more addled. But his Parkinsons has not changed, because of the sinemet.

Bye for now,

Love, Wannabe
