I have posted these before:
I gave my DW some Ensure to boost her energy and gain weight. An hour later I was giving her a shower and you would have thought Mount Etna had erupted. It was a major mess (DW and shower). It was the first time we discovered she was lactose intolerant (she had never been before). By the time I finished cleaning, she was not even aware that it happened.
I need to dress and undress my wife. When I need to kneel on the floor to pull her pants down, she always asks me "Are you praying?". And I always answer "Yes, praying I can get up." (and it is difficult).
When I try to explain to her who I am, I tell her we have been married 57 years and she always says "that's a long time".

That's interesting that your DW is (now) lactose intolerant. Prior to my DH's illness, he would drink 2 glasses of milk per day and eat ice cream with zero problems. However, at about stage 5, he could no longer drink any milk products.0

My friend has become lactose intolerant. Instead of causing intestinal discomfort, it causes a HUGE personality change - confusion, suspicions and dark moods.0
