[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if she even took Gene to doctors that often. Someone on the outside should have been monitoring his health. It doesn’t seem like he was getting the health care he needed. [b]None of those pills found dealt with his heart disease. He only had a pacemaker. I could go on.[/b]

I hope this was not deliberate, but feel that she could have done far more for him. I think if doctors knew about the advanced dementia ( she probably hid it), then they would have been adamant about getting home resources for him, or suggest a memory care facility for him. It’s a tough thing to do, but we went both routes with my parents. Having care at home gave us more time with one parent, and saved a little cost, though home care is not cheap.

Memory care facilities are expensive, but help you gain your life back.

That’s not true. Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker. It’s used alone or together with other medicines to treat angina or hypertension, Easing the workload of the heart. It’s not uncommon for 95 year olds, whether with Alz or not, to be selective in what they treat. All reports are that Betsy was a diligent caretaker. This was a bizarre occurrence. Sure, we can all learn that it’s a good idea for a solo caretaker of any age to have frequent checks, but that doesn’t mean that Betsy was negligent.[/quote]
