Thanks for asking. It feels so good to talk to others if only to vent… I guess I’m a little unsure what to do now. My husband is diagnosed with Dementia w/apathy and early Alzheimer’s and worsening gait, balance and walk. He has been on the Exelon patch and now Carbidopa-Levodopa. He seems fatigued most of the time but I’m not sure if it’s from the Dementia, medication, depression or boredom. He assures me that he is not bored. We volunteer 2 mornings a week at our hospital and he will often go to the store with me and we go out to eat occasionally , otherwise at home he takes naps, watches TV and plays Solitare on his tablet sometimes for hours on end. He says he is happy with doing that.
I keep feeling like I need to find something fun for him to do or like I need to entertain him or should I just let him be?
How do others handle this?
