[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did Gene not notice Betsy on the bathroom floor? 
Do you not notice things like that with Alzeihmers? Or maybe he noticed, but bc of his lack of mental logic didn't do anything? Or his attempt to "help" was going to walk to a neighbor's house (He was found dead in the mudroom).[/quote]

He might have noticed, thought he'd get help, then went to put his coat on and go out, only to forget why he'd put his coat on. He might have noticed, thought he'd get help, and forget when he was two steps past the bathroom. That could have happened dozens of times for days before he died. He could have discovered his wife and caregiver dead on the floor over and over again. Alzheimer's is terrifying.  [/quote]

+1 When I told my mom with Alzheimer's that my dad had died, she looked at me for a brief moment with clarity and asked "was it easy?" And then she was gone again, as if we'd never had the conversation.

This story of Gene and Betsy will haunt me for a long time. Maybe it'll have some positive effects though - make people more aware of hantavirus and to be more conscious of checking in on the elderly and their caregivers. [/quote]
