Welcome to July!! One of my least favorite months because it is so hot. You all be careful In the heat. Not really sure.how long it will.be before I get the test results. One place I read said 72 hours and another said up to 14 days. My doctor did say it might be that I'm.not far enough along in the incubation period to…
My DW won't trim her fingernails and toenails. She won't allow me to trim them either. She's not quite as bad as how Howard Hughes was. 🤣 Any ideas to this one? Thanks.
I'm 70 and in reasonably good health, some issues that are well managed. DW is 67, about 3 years or so in. I would say moderate stages. A fair amount of urinary incontinence, needs assistance with bathing and dressing. We have an adult daughter who's doing all she can to help us. I cook breakfast every day, and either our…
I've seen many discussions on the dissappointment of forgetting Anniversaries and Birthdays. Our anniversary will be in a few weeks, my birthday a few weeks after that. My DH was always so good, rememering those days, often surprising me with thoughtful gifts or a weekend away to celebrate. I already know I will feel the…
I go home Wednesday's around 4:30 (get there about 5:30) after work and then on Thursday I work from their house. I do "like" the slight distraction but today I decided I needed to take the day off from work because the weather is going to be awful and I know my mom won't be happy about that. Did I make the right decision…
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m just looking to vent and feel seen as I feel most of my friends do not understand and I have no family. My dad is 84 and was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia about 4 years ago. My parents divorced when I was young and I have 1 younger sister. When dad was no longer able to live…
Hi! I’ve written multiple times in the past about my mom‘s current MC. After 25 pounds of weight loss and the feeling that the MC isn’t taking the concerns seriously or has adequate medical staffing, we’ve decided to move my mother to another MC. Much more expensive but has 24x7 nursing on-site and the layout is much more…
Some days I just wanna read posts here and benefit from the sense of community and of understanding. As dad declines and my heart breaks, sometimes I just don't want to be around people who can't understand the things we do and see with our LOs. Maybe I could write a song called tears in the parking lot for those of us who…
My loved one was a college adjunct professor with almost 40 years of teaching and research under her belt. And when COVID hit, she and many other adjunct professors were let go! That was when the super active brain suddenly stopped, like hitting a break wall. The depression followed, no desire to do any more studies or…
My precious dear wife passed yesterday after an 8 1/2 - year journey with early onset Alzheimer's. She was 55 when first diagnosed and had just turned 64 this month. Of course, I am deeply saddened by her passing but also relieved at the same time. It has been a long hard journey for us both. There are so many of you on…
