3. The newer treatments for dementia are by infusion

Eventually they're going to have to throw in the towel and have him give up a four day holfing weekend to get a port placed under the skin. They can leave the access needle in to one of those, if he plays with it and pulls it out, he just gets a few drops of blood only his clothes, the ports are self sealing. The advantage is that his hands won't take such a beating from frequent IV access.

I've noticed the infusions as stailizing his mood but not having much effect on his cognitive decline.

I don't know how they're going to pull the plug on the guy, we all know he won't go willingliy. They'll also trigger a civil war within the GOP which might try to spread bdyond it, so hold onto your hats there.
