It sounds so similar to my situation. My hubby still can drive and gets groceries with a list but items are often missing from the list. He can cook meals but if it’s complicated he is anxious and the kitchen is a disaster. I help with the TV remote but as of today, he won’t let me help with his phone and passwords. I’m trying to monitor what’s important and not set him off into frustration. It’s an interesting balancing act. He’s working with a wonderful neuro psychologist and we have an appointment with a geriatric specialist later this month. Hopefully for some imaging. He’s on anti depressants which are helping a lot with the mood swings but nothing for the MCI. The comments on the forum as so helpful. Wishing you strength as well. ❤️

Yes MCI has many similarities and differences as we are learning. I take 1 day at a time. And I try to keep him as happy as I can. I do things for myself too, like work part time, bicycle, rebounding and lots of proper breathing to help with my own stres, and I speak to a therapist every 3 weeks for talk therapy. I try to get some piano playing in as he likes to hear it. And he likes opera and oldies. He and I live alone in the home but our kids stay in touch as they are aware. We visit grand kids like 4x a week for an hour or so. I’m hoping he can stay where he is with MCI because all of these consistent things plus family, eating clean food, taking brain supplements is important.
Don’t know if you follow Brain Doctor who gives tips on reducing the effects of MCI, Alzheimer’s and dimentia but he is great. He has a practice too.
He’s on Facebook, IG and Tic Tok. Plus I am taking his Brain Supplements for myself too. Check him out - Dr Clint Steele. Enjoy your day!
