@dig2dye2 I know what you mean. I am going to have to go to the grocery store by my self from now on. He is so slow and since he has problems raising his head he can not even see where I am. Had to have a cashier run him down and bring him back to me. May take me several trips since I have Arthritis so bad and can not lift a lot but just can not take him any more. We will have been married 49 years in December and I have been a caregiver since 1993. Not for the dementia, that started the last 3 years but he broke is back and had closed head trauma so I know where you are coming from when you said you are sad and tired. Keep the chin up and just go one day at a time and take care of your self. Love hearing from you.

@dltstoose I am so sorry for your struggles and thank you for sharing. Some days we just need support and understanding. I understand and for him I will say, “thank you”. I am sure he is very grateful that you are there for him.
