The caretaker struggle
Post Body

I’m so worried about my in-laws right now. My MIL is the one diagnosed. She’s in the moderate stage, but starting to advance. (I was my mother’s caretaker, so have lived this once). They are both about 86, 87, and have been married for 60 years. MIL is starting to try to wander & is sundowning extremely quickly these days. My FIL is her caregiver & they live in a 5/3.5 2 story house. So, entirely too big for them. Yesterday my FIL fell & my husband had to rush over, ended up taking him to the ER, stitches, etc. He has blood pressure issues that cause him to get dizzy & fall. Plus, he has a surgery coming up for something, husband couldn’t remember at the moment. With all this, I don’t see it being possible to keep MIL at home, especially with no help. Otherwise, my husband would have to move in with them & just leave me here alone with the cats? I’m terribly frustrated by the situation as they don’t even have her with a neurologist or any specialist or on any meds. I know the things I had to do 10-15 years ago, but I need to know if there’s any new medications, tips, etc. I’m just trying to find a way to handle this without making them mad.
