Alzheimer's living, continuing

For all those living with an Alzheimer's patient, if the person wears dentures, please get a spare set made while there is still a level of cooperation and cognition.  We had a missing upper plate a few days ago and  another time an item in the disposal that we thought might have been a plate dropped into some thick soup (it was a ring she wore).  At this point we could not subject Peggy to the process of impressions and fittings, so if a plate were lost or damaged all her food would have to be soft.  Adding more chores to the daily round of tasks that are challenging.  Having a spare, even if never needed would save some anxiety.
