How do you assess your spouse

ronda b

My Dh is c/o light headless and chest discomfort. Im retired nurse so I've done all the steps. BP is fine heartrate is fine no further symptoms. Up walking around like nothing wrong. Was at er last week for back pain. Found nothing that would cause it. Given his meds for BP baby aspirin. Will cont to monitor him,but it just so hard because I can't tell if it's the dementia or not. Just need to vent a min.

Just an update. DH IS FINE. He took about an hour nap an woke up with no complaints. Ask about his lightheaded he looked at me like I was crazy,so he has none . N

PEMDAS

My DH says his "whatever" hurts, and then I call the on-call nurse, and he says I don't know what you are talking about. So often I am not sure that he is old school and doesn't tell his "doctor: his problems, or he forgets.

Every day brings a new challenge, I am loosely using that word. Truthfully, every day brings me into a new reality when I have not had time to process yesterday's challenge.

I think sometimes these are somatic complaints, or bids for attention, coming from depression, anxiety and/or an inability to entertain oneself.

A snack, hydration and TLC can sometimes work miracles.

One of the absolute greatest things about hospice is that I have someone to call who will tell me what to do. Before we were doing the same thing with debating what to do for Dh's various complaints that he would forget about. Now that responsibility has been eased, and I wish I could have had someone telling me what to do for the past couple of years instead of having to figure it all out on my own
