Confused about a "mild" Alzheimer's diagnosis.

My husband is also 81 and he has the exact same symptoms as your husband. I have been told he is in the last stages of dementia/Alzheimer's. He had a pet scan two years ago that was suppose to tell if he had Alzheimer’s but it was inconclusive. I’m not willing to put him thru another scan cause what difference does it make at this point. I figure my husband has had dementia for 9-10 years. I am to the point I don’t feel I can continue to deal with him much longer. I am going crazy myself. We have been married 59 years and my heart is broken

If you are feeling as if you are "going crazy" yourself please take steps to help yourself. It is time to do so; call it "transitioning" to the next phase before the stress of caregiving causes your immune system to falter.
Good luck, God bless you and you are in my thoughts and prayers. You are not alone.

@msbjean53 , I hope you can get some help. Late stage can be totally exhausting and intense. My dad got home hospice at the end and that was exhausting too. We were seeking placement but he passed away before we were able to find placement.
