Different Parts Of Body Like Hands , Feet And Now Ear Getting Blue As If Bruised, What’s Going On?
My husband 86 yrs of age has been in the nursing home for last 10 months, he fractured his hip in May 2021 and after that has been in the N home. Recently it’s been noticed on my face to face visits that his hand and fingers on the outer side were blue and now his right year.
Please can someone tell me what’s happening here and does he need to see the doctor. He has one aspirin a day.
He is in his last stages of Alzeihmers.
Thanks

How Is "Acute Encephalopathy " Different From/related To "severe Alzheimers Dementia?"
My husband was admitted to hospital 6 days ago from memory care facility he'd been in for 6 weeks. The encephalopathy is noted as likely exacerbated by Benzos, ie the Ativan he'd been on for about a week. I'm at a loss as to what is next. Any experience with a similar situation?
Thanks ❤️

Depakote is horrible drug. They prescribed me this med years ago and was in the hospital for dehydration and it turned toxic in my body. It's really used for manic depression/ bipolar.
Why Do I Hear So Many Concerns About Health Care Providers Who Don't Understand The Needs Of Someone With Dementia?
I'm puzzled. Almost everyday I read something about how difficult it can be to work with health care providers due to their misunderstanding of the needs of people with dementia and their caregivers. Over the past 9 years my husband has experienced at least 5 hospitalizations, 10+ ER visits, and the route care of more than 10 medical specialists. Through all of that, I can think of only two times that this has been an issue. In one case, after gently requesting clarification there were no… read more
