While I was asleep last night, Jim got up, got dressed and went for a walk around our senior residence. I have been dreading this. Planning to install a slip bolt on our apartment door which may stall further walkies. Also, will put a STOP sign on the back of the apt. door. Experts say this may act as a deterrent. Meanwhile I expect to be a very nervious sleeper (misspelling intended).
There also is the benedryl solution, give him two before bed, good sleep should follow. Making appointment with Jim's doc to investigate other meds and options.
We had the door of my mom's apartment wired with an alarm (not a scary one, more like doorbell chimes) that would go off when the door was opened. As long as you're not a super sound sleeper, that might be a good solution. Also, if he doesn't have an ID bracelet, now's a good time to get him one. Anyway... I'm sorry you have to cope with this while immobile (and, obviously, at all).
