in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

i have just read a book on kindle which is written by a caregiver concerning her journey with her DH. Very informative and a bit of lighthearted humor at times. I enjoyed reading it and find it will be especially helpful to a new caregiver. Wish I was able to read it a few years ago.

its called “Coping when your loved one has dementia: Life’s detour”. So far i think its only on kindle. Check it out!

    thank you for the referral. My DH is in very early mild Alzheimer’s and I’m grabbing everything I can get my hands on and then some. I have been reading A Dignified Life which is really good and listening to Teepa Snow. I think my DH and I are still in denial and questioning everything because he had a severe case of meningitis in about 24 years ago and suffered traumatic brain injuries but overcame the damage except for losing his hearing. This might not be the platform but has anyone been questioning their doctors about statins and the brain? This could just be coincidence but my DH didn’t have trouble until 6 months into taking atorvastatin. I’m just curious about some of the things I’ve read. And yes, I am going to ask his neurologist too. Thanks.
