Need To Change Husbands Thoughts & Get His Interest In Something Else.

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭
St Louis, MO

My husbands short term memory is just about gone, except for his thought that he has to walk at the mall constantly. Which usually consists of walking from the car To food court & back Medicare is paying for home health care, but he can’t be going to the mall. How can I break this thought tried to get him on other subjects, but that seems to be imbedded in his mind. He gets dizzy due to blood sugar problems & shouldn’t be walking. Any suggestions? Thanks

We have been sitting in the mall and he’ll say he has to walk and I’ll say you already walked. He just says ok. He takes a lot of naps so I could try and tell him when he wakes up we got back and you dozed off when we got back. Thanks for the idea. Worth a try.

If I had that much money I’d join you on the ship. Actually he wants to go to niagara falls and back to Mexico. Can’t see it happening. Have enough trouble just getting him up and moving around here. He’d never be able to make a tour bus.

Yes my husband thinks these people are going and stealing all his money. Keeps telling me about these two guys that puts all there money together 300,000 mind you and now they are taking it all I said to him the other day if we had 300,000 dollars we be living on a cruise ship. It almost made me laugh but it’s really not funny makes me lose my mind almost every time he starts on the subject. All we can do is stay strong hugs to you
