Hi @virginiatc - Welcome to the Connect community! I think you are doing a great job at navigating the forum, but if you have any questions or find something you are struggling with, shout out and one of us can help you. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's dementia. My husband was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment in 2015 and it has progressed into dementia now so I have some understanding of what it means to be a caregiver in this situation. Can you tell more about your husband's situation? When was he diagnosed? What would you say are the biggest challenges you are facing now?

Also, just FYI, there's a page you may be interested in checking out where there is more information on some aspects of cognitive impairment:

Hi @virginiatc Welcome to Mayo Connect and congratulations! You got it all correct! You are here and doing it right (you really can't break anything here)! While I am sorry to read of your husband's healthcare journey, I am pleased to e-meet you and am happy you found Mayo Connect!

I found this site when I was taking care of my wife and I was feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and exhausted. The Connect community helped me overcome all three of those and I hope it does the same for you! This is a wonderful group of caregivers and concerned folks who are a wealth of information, hints, tips, and support!

If you are like me, nothing about computers is 'basic', but rather more like magic so I fumble with it often myself.

I don't want to pry, but how long have you been caregiving now and what are your biggest challenges?

Strength, courage, and peace!
