I don't blame you for letting your spouse eat what he wants. What's the point? If they are terminal or not able to ever get better, let them do what they want-within reason. They do not have much joy left in life. I sometimes wonder if that is the reason my husband still smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Maybe he is hurrying it along. But that is the enjoyment he has left, He is sick, has no appetite , can't really go anywhere except to the doctors . He does enjoy watching tv though. So, I don't say a word. I do give him his oxycodone every day, because if left in his hands he would take more than prescribed. Oh, the joys and trials of being a caregiver. Have a good day.

We had a gut- wrenching conversation tonight that had left me adrift. My husband does not admit that he has CAA/ MCI and that he ever had a TIA. He says all the doctors are wrong. He does not acknowledge any of the findings- and I understand. It is hard, it is scary, and no one wants this.

He desperately wants to drive and says that if he cannot drive- then je just wants to die. He has no hobbies and he wants to work - but he can’t get to a job and I doubt he could even get through an interview. I am just floundering and I hurt so much for him and for us.

I was crying and he told me that I cry too much. I am crying now as I type - you are the only people who truly understand.
