My husband is taking his nap after lunch so thought I would check in. First I am so grateful for what he does, garbage, dishes, fills coffee and napkins, gets his shower and dresses himself to name a few. Life is good basically as long as my mouth stays closed. 😂 negative points he won’t wear his hearing aids which after many discussions is not going to happen, so I find I do not communicate as much as I used to since I have to repeat everything 2-3 times. I have to make sure I always put my sweats away for they seem to disappear into his man cave which is irritating but when I realize that I can’t find them now I look there. I find I spend a lot of time looking for things and he constantly gets his wallet and glasses mixed up. Little changes I see but for this man I am hopelessly in love with I will deal with this and try and be the person I hope he would be proud of? He tells me 10 times a day how much he loves me what more could I ask for? That’s me for today.

Mine is similar; he did the laundry, garbage, dishes, filled coffee, some housekeeping and napkins, showers, dressed himself, looked after the garden and did most of the cooking until about a week ago. He no longer does the coffee, and there is almost no cooking or housekeeping, so I am waiting for the next shoe to drop. I have stenosis and a lung condition, so it is difficult for me to take over the tasks. We do have volunteer organisations and our government health organisation that will help. I do know it is a progression ...
