Probably not ever going to be officially diagnosed

Sounds like our husbands are on the same path at this time. The thing I miss the most is meaningful conversation; sharing our day, the needs to be done around the house, planning trips, our discussions never include any future planning. His mind just doesn’t move forward with planning and I so miss that with him. We have been married 44 years and talking and sharing has always been an important part of our relationship.

I am a Care Giver for my wife; 3 months of depression - i assumed ... 6 more months of NO motivation ... we used to go to 3 different places to eat out during the month.
There WAS no real Summer. Things we did special for Fall; nothing!
Winter? i purchased a tree with lights the 2nd week of December...never got decorated.
Yes....there ARE no
meaningful conversations. I need a female to talk to - asking for trouble!
She used to constantly criticize. Now she is a Type B and soft spoken. ?????
Her brain scan (after waiting 5 months) came back as MILD !!!!
Frequent UTIs indicates something else... the Immune System has weakened. Not enough white blood cells to fight the infection - NEXT UP TO BAT
i feel like Linda's General Contractor with an array of doctors to "network" with each other!!!! Why IS that?
Anyone experience this in trying to have a true diagnosis of all the parts that make up Linda.

Yes, exactly. I just got off the phone with my best friend. We talked for over two hours about everything under the sun. My husband's conversations, such as they are, take about five minutes, then get repeated. It's so sad as I know he wants to connect with me but so much is just gone. He says we're not as connected as we used to be and we're not. Both of us are sad.
