    I am so grateful for this list. Our situation has just now gotten to the point where my husband is unable to retain any new information, so he asks me to tell him the same thing all day long. I have always been a patient person, but it has become more than I can take without losing my temper. I don't want to hurt him. So this list will redirect ME so maybe it will ease his anxiety as I redirect and divert his attention to something else.

    I am also at a crossroad in deciding if we would do better in an independent living facility.
