carr52 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 My Step Dad has Alzhimer's and is in a nursing Home up in Kentucky. All of the residents have different levels of dementia and some of them just like to pick things up. Not thier fault, it just happens. So I made him a wallet like this one and it sorta wandered off. Or he hid it someplace in the home and forgot where. When it comes to dementia patients you have to keep and open mind. All that glitters is not gold and alls thats missing is not stolen. I enjoyed making the wallet for him and I know he'll like it. Once he gets use to the idea that it's his. Not somebody else named Bill. I'll take it to him next month when I go up there. Closed it is 3"x5" Tom Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted October 25, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 25, 2008 Very nice wallet, I am sure he will get a thrill out of it. You are right about dementia, I feel for you and your family it can be real tough to deal with. Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted October 25, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 25, 2008 He's going to like... I know I like the style, it's different. I don't remember oldtimers being so prolific, in my younger times. Something is affecting us, nowadays, to cause this family distress. I hope the time left for you two is gentle. Quote
