When Wayne was still home, I used to tell him that people judged my care on how well he was taken care of – usually this was to motivate him to agree to jump in the tub!

All winter, I had him in new black or navy fleece pants with a nice hem. From a distance, they just looked like regular slacks.Spring is here and I thought I should buy cotton slacks ( both rugby with a fly and belt tabs or regular Dockers cotton). He looked so spiffy and handsome.

At the end of our visit yesterday, he said he needed the bathroom – moments later, I heard, “I need help.”

Belts and zippers no longer work.

I guess I’ll keep the pants for special visits and I’ll do the belt/zipper for him. My sister always said the staff appreciates the easiest clothing possible for AD patients – an “I told you so” situation.
