The following is an exerpt from an email to a friend with the same, or almost same problem as i have only not only is her husband having memory problems, but she has a few health problems of her own...These days i seem to be hearing this over and over...so this is what i wrote.....
.so keep on keeping on, mac was up and down today, making my life the same..but we did get to the museum of fine arts, met a friend for lunch and another friend unintentionally later, it was such a pleasant surprise...but when we were home, mac was clearly disoriented and felt i was busy directing him around, and that's a no no...so wouldn't eat his nice steak dinner...which i prepared...that's the second meal he wouldn't eat this week....not too cool.
he was clearly not with it to such a degree that he had to be coaxed to go to our apt. for dinner in the first place, saying we don't live here we live over there....and then later wouldn't get ready for bed...etc etc..so thankfully tomorrow will be a quiet day here ...with walking at the lake in the sun on the agenda...so life i hope will be better.
i think how much i need my health and sanity, so i'm sure you feel the same,
met a lady yesterday whose husband has the big A as i call it, and she said she had been married for 60 years, 57 were great the last 3 though have kind of taken over and she says they have been pure 'hell' how depressing is that...i really want to stay positive..in fact i thought no use writing a blog, as i want to concentrate on the positives..therefore no need to write anything....but here i am again...but will see how perhaps i will scale it down to one episode a week....that should be enough, now to bed..g'nite.
