Is it MCI or Dementia?

I’m sorry you are going through this too. Some days he seems to be fine - other days not - and his moods are affected by my reactions so I am trying to stay positive and not get irritated when he doesn’t remember things. The comments and suggestions here are already helping me to be kinder - for a day or two - since I just joined! 🤣 I know that I don’t get enough “alone” time. I probably made him appear totally incapacitated but I think he isn’t ready for a caregiver yet. He can still do things for himself and he likes to take care of our houseplants. He also likes to cook. I am here when he does and I do the clean up. Letting him be as independent as possible - it’s just the memory issues and his own complaints about his health that upset me. That and the fact that he looks so much older when he can’t stand up straight. I think others have it much worse than I do. That’s why he should really be diagnosed if it is the beginning stages of dementia or something else. I wish you the best too! ❤️🤗

I know what you mean about good and bad days, and very competent in many areas and just lost in others.
Someone else in this blog said something I will take to heart, that even though we get frustrated and lose our tempers, our husbands will not remember, so that's a relief because we are only human and doing our best with this crappy situation.
