I’m glad things are looking a bit brighter for you. I was step-father to a handicapped daughter from the time she was eight until she passed at nineteen. It was a slow, steady decline, and about every 8-10 months there was a major change or crisis. Every time it happened, her mother and I would wonder how in the world are we going to be able to handle this. After about a week or two it would just be normal routine. I know it’s not the same as with a spouse, mainly because it sounds like you are the only care giver, but you will be surprised a what you can handle. Your wife is fortunate you are there. Good thoughts coming your way That's pretty much what we're going through. What you wrote has encouraged me. Thank you. |

David, very sorry to hear that your wife has not been herself. She will be in my thoughts and Prayers. Tomorrow I will say a special Prayer and light a 24 hour candle with hope better days are ahead for your wife. There are tests that can determine “ if “ your wife has the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s. Also new medications and time release patches that helps, did wonders for a friend of mine, thank God. Please keep us informed. Wishing both you and your wife all the best. Hope too also see you back on here whenever possible. Be well, Ted What ted said...we are here for you...please lean on use for your support...we are here for you 24/7. Remember that! I am impressed by the simplicity and directness of this comment. Here is a musical interlude which is appropriate and uplifting: |

And @lonecoyote, and toshtego - do you know how to turn a duck into a soul singer? But it in an oven until its bill withers. (works better when you tell the joke - there are no apostrophes in speech!) |

Do you know how to turn a duck into a soul singer? Put it in an oven until its bill withers. ... rub it in the grass until it's Al Green.  Great joke, LL!  |
