[quote=Anonymous]Maybe too late for this but keep the newly diagnosed person as engaged as possible in their quieter hobbies. My late mother never could sit still and was very active (always had to be doing something) and we struggled to keep her “busy.” For my mother, she enjoyed folding clothes so we’d sit and chat while she matched socks and folded kitchen towels (her own or mine). She enjoyed writing letters but couldn’t really hold a pen but she could stuff and seal envelopes. She also enjoyed “fashion shows” where I’d bring over some recent purchases and she’d suggest accessories for me. Sometimes we’d look through her box of costume jewelry and select necklaces to go with her collection of cardigans and tops. [/quote]
