My husband’s dementia has taken on a new aspect. He yells, screams, shrieks, makes very weird noises and whacks the paper on the table. It is quite unnerving, I have taken the precaution to mute my mike when I am on Zoom. Sometimes I have to cut my video because he wandering around naked. It is disconcerting and downright horrible when he does these things.

His brother in law phoned today. His wife was my husband’s sister and she died of Alzheimer’s.  He asked me if I have found a home yet for my husband, I could tell that he had a problem discussing it, too many bad memories.

    Buggsroo,  the screaming would get to me too. On a lighter note, running around naked, dose that cut down on laundry?  No disrespect intended!
