Again - Thank You All.
I would like to explain why I have been absent for the last few weeks........
OH has not had good mental health for years......increasing memory problems......loads of tests and finally a brain scan........the dementia unit told us over the phone that he had 'Alzheimers type dementia'
They informed the Alzheimers Society who phoned 3 times and sent a forest load of info sheets. The local hospice phoned to offer benefit advice and to tell me what services they offer when he needs to go into care. I had a hissy fit at the woman on the phone as talking about end of life care for the man who was out in the garden dead heading the buddleia was a step to far.
DVLA informed and now waiting to see when his driving assessment will be or even whether he will keep his license.
Still a bit confused by the Power of Attorney forms which are gathering dust on the sideboard.
The tablets they put him on make him very tired so he gets up around 9.30, has an afternoon nap between 2 and 4.30 and bedtime is between 9 and 10.
And what made him, him is slowly slipping away........I can see very small changes almost daily.
So the reason I went AWOL was to protect myself from the kindness of others and to protect them from my anger.
