And time is our biggest issue.
Time is a short term memory skill. We remember time every second. If one is losing short term memory then the clock, minutes, hours and days can no longer be managed. The present becomes the future in an instant. In our case I am glad my husband has such wonderful long term memory recall but without the whiteboard he is lost. And this is just the beginning. We are still in Mild Cognitive Impairment hoping moderate isn’t upon us.
Time with each other is slipping by.
My neighbor, aged 70, picture of health was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 3 weeks ago. He is already counting what time he has left, what he can possibly hold on to..
We are both losing our husbands in different ways.
I need to spend our time with as much quality as possible. That’s all I can say. God help us all🙏🏻❤️

Ditto regarding the whiteboard being a part of his daily routine that would prove challenging if we didn't keep it handy.
My husband was diagnosed with MCI at the beginning of this year, although symptoms started about a year ago. His test results at the neurologist have him at a high-functioning level, however that was earlier this year, and from what I am witnessing daily, he no longer seems high-functioning (he cares for himself though, thank goodness).
He can no longer drink or drive.
So sorry to hear about your neighbor.
Carpe diem.
