Your story is so similar to ours, @joyh1567. The diagnosis also let us get our affairs in order. That was nearly five years ago. My husband functions pretty well. He is very forgetful, and sometimes needs to be reminded how to do things, like shave, or turn down the bed. He stopped driving a few years ago. He's got a good disposition and goes along with most of my suggestions.
He was blind in one eye with a cataract, and never said a word about it, though. He had cataract extraction surgery three months ago and became more sociable after. He also broke his hip two years ago, but has recovered well.
Thank you, too, for sharing your story!
