I was so glad you wrote “began leaving cabinet drawers and doors open,”…when my hubby started leaving the large medicine cabinet door as well as the kitchen cabinets and drawers open I knew something was definitely wrong. I have been looking for someone else to mention that. I have yet to have a doctor agree that yes that could indicate the disease is progressing and when on this journey you are desperate to have someone acknowledge that yes unusual behavior indicates a progressing. He has trouble reading. He says that understanding the preacher’s messages at church is getting harder. He can’t sing hymns as he can’t follow along quick enough. As a result he is less interested in going. His ability to use his cell phone is also decreasing, and more and more he will ask me what particular apps are for. He is losing the ability to keep his things organized and every drawer is becoming a “junk” drawer which results in him never being able to find anything. That would have driven him crazy 3 years ago. It drives me crazy now, but I try to keep quiet and just limit the drawers he can claim as his. The doctors are quick to write prescriptions, but I haven’t found one that really wants to talk about the progression of this disease that is slowly taking my husband away from me…I feel like we are on a drifting ship…wondering how and where we will end up. Thank goodness for Mayo Chat and good books.
