Re: Lou had good days

MJ,

Have Matt take that gun home. It is so dangerous to have it available to your

husband.

He could not only hurt himself , he could hurt someone else if he takes it out.

Any weapon shouldn't be available to someone with dementia who isn't thinking

clearly.

It is the same as driving a car, which they shouldn't be doing either.

I know it is hard to ask them to give up that stuff, but I would get it out when

he isn't aware it is gone. If he can't find it, I would tell him it has to be

around somewhere. It won't be long and he won't be thinking about guns or

remember he had one.

Hugs,

Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in

a nh.

She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.
