He's going into a rehab facility probably by the weekend. Seems like a similar situation here, but mom has no more patience and yells at dad.

This morning he didn't recognize my car & asked my brother whose it was. When my brother reminded him it was mine, dad told him it couldn't be mine because I had gone. (just 30 minutes earlier, he'd come down where I was sleeping & saw me). He's gotten sarcastic as hell with mom, gives her a fight every day about changing his clothes or taking a shower & now she has to remind him to brush his teeth, too. I'm worried about mom putting up with him 24/7 but she says she's used to it and wants to keep him home as long as she can. I'll be surprised if that's 6 more months - he's rapidly deteriorating mentally and she can't handle that alone, especially being as weak as she is after her surgery. You don't exactly bounce back from operations when you're in your 70's. The whole thing is so damn sad....the weird thing is, he's gotten so much better physically - doesn't have to take his high blood pressure OR heart meds anymore & thanks to his walking for years before the Alzheimer's struck hard, his body is strong.

I don't need the darker makeup now, though .... and feel naked without it, but this is gel-like, light and comes off easily with their cleaner. I did buy their spritz moisturizer but forget to use it. I like the Philosophy scented shower gels. I have the chocolate mocha in the shower now and the strawberry milk shake in the big bathroom. The peppermint is awesome, I need to remember to buy some as it's a holiday item. I have to wear foundation … you must have a very light beard.

The only thing I do is retinol A and moisturizer at night, and sometimes some "clear makeup" that I saw on QVC once by philosophy...love the way it makes my face feel so soft & it gives you a dewy look.

I had a $3 coupon from CVS. https://shop1.dermacia.com/BreathableFoundation.aspx I also bought the moisture spray for $28 (https://shop1.dermacia.com/MoistureSpray.aspx), the cleanser for $20 (https://shop1.dermacia.com/BreathableCleanser.aspx) and still need a few other things. It costs money to look good :) Sorry, I lied, it’s $48 a bottle. I had a $3 coupon from CVS.
