Has there been something on the news about Puerto Rico,

food supply, etc? I'm trying to figure out if my MIL with dementia heard some news I should pay attention to, or get her some anti-anxiety meds.

Somehow, this story has been twisted into, "Puerto Ricans are getting all of our food, and there isn't enough, so I guess we'll all die."

Dementia can really warp the color and meaning of a story! I guess a fairy tale would cause her to believe bears were sleeping in her bed.
