in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

Hello everyone,


My name is Linda and my DH was diagnosed early because I new the signs from my experience with my mother. His diagnosis was made 6 years ago. It has been a slow decline so far. Now things are changing. He can shower, shave and dress but other than that he doesn't want to do anything but watch tv. He gets angry easily and yet tells me when he needs help with something. He is 85 and I am 78 years old. He is becoming unstable on his feet but won't follow my suggestions to help the situation. Our daughters love him but one lives 1100 miles away and the 100 and both have busy lives. It feels like we are just two ships passing in the night. Most of the time he is in one room and I am in another. Suggestions please.
