Mother has had Dementia for about five years now and has always let me put in her eye drops. She now refuses, because she no longer knows who I am. She thinks I am the hired help. If she does not take her drops to control the pressure in her eye, she could have a stroke and go blind in her eye, which is the only good eye she has left. She has already had a stroke in her other eye and lost sight in that eye. Has anyone had to deal with this? Help, I am so tired of fighting with her.....
I'm not suggesting you actually impersonate a registered nurse, mind; just be yourself, but with a different, more authoritative style.
Definately puck up a scrubs top!
Not to compare, but when I needed to put antibiotic ointment in my dachshund's eyes, that was the only thing that helped.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, or SLT
her eyes, drop it in the corner of her eyes without her knowing that you
have it in your hand. She will open her eyes in surprise, say O I'll get
you a tissue.
