Sexual activity is gone but so are all the other intimacies...the way things were before. He just isn't the same person. He hears my voice but doesn't understand, really, what I am saying...or remember. In fact, my talking seems to incite anger sometimes...I'm not a big talker but anything said to question, clarify, or comment may result in an angry outburst...minor things. Sometimes I share an anecdote about someone we know or offer something I read that is interesting...I can see his eyes glaze over. My friend tells me they only "hear" one out of every 4 words...hearing and vision are impacted. So,I've become very quiet. A white board tracks the date and whatever appts at on the schedule for the day. I try to have him change the day and date and ask him at some point what the month is...if I repeat this exercise every day he may recall the month eventually...sometimes the day or date....just something Im trying as a way of helping him stay in the present. So, yeah! MCI...a hell that goes on and on and on. The greatest fear is the future...with him and without him...
