Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

I could really tell my husband's empathy had taken a hit when he'd see me getting so sweaty, hot and exhausted doing all the yard work myself. He just didn't care that I was so tired and doing everything alone. Before I knew he had an issue I was just mad all the time, wondering why he was being so lazy.
I feel you! Hugs.

I felt the same way. I'd work in the yard for a couple of hours and he'd come out, pick up a few sticks, then pack it in. Now I don't expect anything. He still picks up sticks but I've stopped doing anything because of the heat and a recently diagnosed ascending aortic aneurysm. I guess it's better to be sad than angry.

Yes, it is a strange disease because things seem almost normal sometimes but at other times such different moods and behavior.
