The Purse - Mom has this black crochet purse that she has been carrying for at least the last ten years. She has become obsessed with hiding her purse so no one steals her money -of which there is little kept in her purse. So several times a day she moves her purse from the night stand drawer to the dresser drawer to beside her chair to the closet to another dresser drawer to the china hutch to another chair. And several times a day she can't remember where she last put, it so we all play the game of find the purse before she breaks out in hysterics.
Next we play the game of looking at the reading glasses and sun glasses and switching cases.
Somehow she has managed to accumulate a ton of cosmetics in her purse and sometimes a pair of panties and socks. I think that is for the quick escape plan!
Alzheimer's is so strange in the way it plays with the mind one day and then does something different on another day. If she has something to look forward to like going to Bingo or church, she seems much more under control.
