She took off with one of her slippers one one foot and one of his shoes on the other foot. He tried going after her and couldn't find his other shoe.
Someone that couldn't speak English found her on the ground. She had a broken hand. It was then that she was moved to a home. It is so sad. I miss the Grandma I used to know.
Even when she first got Alzheimer's, she was great with my kids. They said she was their best friend. Now they are afraid to go see her. :(
(Part 2) My Grandma no longer speaks, can't read (that we know of) and sometimes doesn't even eat. My son Mica says, "I don't want to go see her and catch the no talking disease." I have explained that he can not catch Alzheimer's. He was 5 when he said that. We tried playing baby toys with her. One toy scared her, so I had to put it away. It made popping noises. Bad idea! The rest of the toys she enjoyed. For the first 3 years of Mica's life, my Grandma and Mica were on level plane. They loved hanging out together! Now since she's gone down hill it's harder.
I tried extending her stay at home by printing a wall cling to put on their front door. It looked like a shelf instead of a door. I was hoping she wouldn't want to run away then. By the time I had it printed, she got too bad to stay at home.
Luckily she hasn't been very mean. She just gets rattled a bit in large audience situations. Most of the time she's a sweet lady that likes to stay busy.
