I will respond later on my way out for my walk. I went to two dementia classes but didn’t feel they were useful to me. Everyone felt the same some worst it actually made me feel worse. One thing I did learn is to hug my love of my life a lot I think that really helps. I like you have the same issues it’s happening very slowly but changes I see. Hubby also always had issues for years forgetting where he put things we used to laugh we had two of everything. He remembers things differently which I just say okay unless I feel he needs to know the correct answer he thinks about it and says you are right. He is starting to remember words and having trouble concentrating on the tv. I get irritated also but right now he has 2 severe fractured discs so he has to wear a brace that is the worst getting him not to blt
Bend lift twist 😁 he has never been diagnosed like you most people outside who he talks to don’t know him but I think the neighbors know there is a difference because he repeats things. I am sure it is mild cognitive. I’m just grateful” for the good times he says he loves me 10 times a day and does realize a change but he appreciates all I do for him. Love will get me through this if I just try and calm down and walk away. Make sure you get out and do something for yourself.
I just found out the other day that there is a site called go go grandparents they off for rides, home care etc. etc. hang in there and make sure you take time for yourself.
