@howardjames - Dear Noreen, I can relate to your husband's inability to communicate. This has been my husband for the past 3-4 years. Like your guy, he doesn't have much pain but with my Tom, his anger is increasing and his ability to deal with things is declining. I was forced to send my Tom for respite care today as I blacked out a night or two ago and ended up with a concussion and a injured tail bone. They tell me he is doing OK but I surely am worried and I can't move enough to go see him tonight. Hope things improve for all of us in 2017. Trish
