Yes, I'm in the same boat. I try to live in the moment. Our day-to-day life is very good. We go for walks, or hikes, eat well and our love for eachother has deepened. The challenge is my peace of mind can be disturbed by the MCI memory glitches when they happen, seemingly out of the blue. As an example, we had a lovely day with some friends over the 4th. My husband did very well, conversing with others and enjoyed himself. We got in the car to leave and he had no idea how to get home. That was something new and it immediately brought a dark cloud over my head. It's the ups and downs that's killing me. I'd also love a support group for people with MCI. I can find listening or reading about advanced Alzheimer's is too depressing. I am by nature hopeful and optimistic and I don't want to give into thinking the worst case scenario. But like you say, running away sometimes sounds appealing ;). I live in Tucson and I wish I could find a counselor with knowledge about MCI. Thanks for listening.
