CAREGIVER NOTES:

It seems he’s setting a new nighttime routine…. immediately after dinner he goes into the bathroom, undresses and goes to bed for an hour or two. He wakes up and checks his watch for the time — gets dressed and comes out looking for something to eat. For the most part, we’re able to get him to recognize that it’s evening time frame and that the rest of us are trying to get ready for bed. He’ll reluctantly take his nighttime meds and go back to bed after a light meal, a little conversation or TV time.

About those meds. He’s getting a little sneaky — if we aren’t watching him put them in his mouth and swallow. I’ve found his pills stuffed in his chair and breakfast tray remnants recently. Hmmmm….. I’m really hoping this won’t become a bigger issue in coming days.
