I'm so glad I found this thread. As I am watching my brother-in-law in his final days of living with alztheimers and severe dementia. I have had other experiences with this dreaded disease, but it doesnt make it any easier. Still hurts the same. I understand it better, just cant believe how quick it progressed in him. He was driving in August, jumped over a neighbors fence to escape in October, and now this is it. Feel real sad, keep wondering if I could of done better for him. It seems like he really declined after being told he couldnt drive anymore. He did not take the news well at all. He fought us constantly and begged us for his keys once last time. He just wanted to take the last drive he said, I couldnt risk him getting into an accident, him hurting someone or himself, he just couldnt understand why he couldnt drive. I kinda wish I let him, but I know it was right not to, I took him on drives, but he wasnt happy with someone else driving him. Has anyone else experienced this, I havent with my other relatives. He just wants his clothes off. Sine October, he would go around always taking his clothes off, even now when he is pretty much out of it, he wants everything off, not even blankets or sheets. So far I have managed to keep his diaper on, but he keeps pulling at that to. He was always a private person and would never of done this otherwise. And he was always cold and would even wan the heat on in the summer. Its winter now, hes gotta be cold, but nope, he wants them off. He seems so content just laying there like that. Thanks for group.
