Hugs back to you. My guy is still pretty normal (you know, the 'sorta' normal we all experience when this starts. ) You are having a lot of tough challenges. Wish we weren't headed there but in time we will be. We as the observers and caregivers have to grit our teeth and dance with the devil. I've had to do a lot of changing as I face this down. Sarcasm? Can't use that any more.

Exactly! My husband and I have been married 51 years this month. We always traded sarcasm. Not any more. As your husband is, he is still “mostly himself” until he isn’t. And then he will say something like “I’m sorry I offended you…” so I need to keep that first and foremost in my mind before opening my mouth. I also find I don’t need to share details or he gets fixated on something that doesn’t really matter. But thankfully, still “mostly himself”. Right now, he’s off to pick up our grandchild to take her somewhere. Thankfully, my son will ride along to be sure she gets where she is supposed to. He’s an excellent driver and is happy to help. The day he can’t drive for getting lost etc, he will be truly devastated.
