I am very independent and lacking patience, which I am trying so hard to change. My girlfriend said use the word okay I must say that helped a lot. We seem to have good days as long as I agree with everything he says, of course there is no point in stating my thoughts. I just try and have a good day and remember the man I love so much.
He is now having in home physical therapy which is great for his fractured back, it’s absolutely amazing the difference and most of all he is not fighting me on this.
It’s hard but what can one do, just plod along and hug him lots.

I just read the book Slow Dancing with a Stranger. Enlightening but not encouraging. Meryl Comer's husband died 24 years after being diagnosed with early onset ALZ at age 58 !! And she cared for him at home. Truly heroic.
