Are you Caring for a Partner & Parents with Dementia/Alzheimers
Just wondering how many of us are actively caring for partners or parents with dementia/alzheimers? If there are enough interested in doing so, we could ask the mods for our own group, to discuss...
Many thanks @wendy55, let’s hope so! He’s still got a lot of living to do ..
I’ve already bought a couple of pairs of white cotton gloves (in case he feels the cold as much as anything, as touch wood, his hands aren’t affected so far ... tho he was 11 years ago with his first chemo. He hasn’t worn them yet.
I’ll definitely check the gel infused socks! I got him a couple of pairs of slip ons, but he waddles like a duck in them and I am actually scared that he WILL fall over, so may hide them. I’m on a couple of stomach cancer groups but no one has mentioned the hand/foot issue yet! Weird!
thank you xxx
