Thank you so much for your response. You sound wondeerful. And thank you for the info about Dementia Action Alliance. With a little searching, I found the website to be daanow.org and I see there is a wealth of information there.
I am not sure what stage of cognitive loss my wife is in right now. Her diagnosis was 7 or 8 years ago, and though I am sure her impairment has progressed, living with her every day, the changes are very gradual and subtle, but the short term memory loss is certainly worse, and she has almost total loss of ability to go beyond the most basic use of her phone and iPad, and the TV remote frustrates her to no end. But she knows family and friends and can drive a car. The only way she could use the DAA site is with my constatnt help (which I am more than happy to do). Even with written directions, she has difficulty managing the steps, and as soon as she loses her place, she cannot regain it. It is so frustrating for both of us, but I cannot imagine being her.
Again, I thank you for responding and for the helpful information. Best wishes to you and I pray there will be a breakthrough in prevention and/or treatment of this cruel disease. Hugs 🤗🤗🤗
@wctdoc1943 it’s my pleasure to help.
some of the DAA participants will have their care partner sitting next to them during the meetings.
I believe it is worth a try.
You are a wonderfully supportive spouse. You are both lucky to have each other.
Thanks for the 🤗 they made me smile!
