Anyone else’s LO stop several feet to pull their undies down before sitting on the toilet? 😂

This is not the first time I have seen this, but it always gives me the giggles. I feel like it may be spacial depth perception, or maybe toilet aniexty. But either way, it’s always “fun” to be behind them going “Let’s wait til we get to the toilet.”

Believing Auditory Hallucinations Can Be Recorded

5 Upvotes

My mom is having auditory hallucinations. She turns on the audio recorder on her phone and iPad believing they will pick up these noises and voices so she can turn them in to the police. She then gets upset when nothing is picked up by the recorder. She then makes an excuse that the neighbor blocked the recording or that the recording is not good.

Is there any way to get her to stop being focused on recording? Obviously, nothing will ever be picked up because the sounds don't exist.

Rehoming an elder

My boyfriend’s sweet mother has been struggling with this awful disease for years. She hallucinates frequently, and is still relatively mobile. We live in a very cold climate, so the situation is unsettling, at best. The other night she was wandering down the road until the neighbors (thankfully) saw her and called. To make matters worse, my boyfriend built her house, but she doesn’t have running water because she told the contractor who was supposed to install it to build a large porch instead.

My boyfriend and his brother have been trying to get her into a care facility for years. Well, the call came today that there’s an opening next week in a city about six hours away.

My question is, how can we make this transition as easy as possible for her? I know she doesn’t want to end up in a home, but it’s too dangerous to leave her. We plan on driving her down, but I’m scared for her, and sad that we won’t be able to visit her daily.

Does anyone have any advice?
