@boppi I have those days, like you we have had a great life so the memories are still there. I cry quietly it’s hard. My husband seems okay as long as I don’t make waves. Things are changing things are missing, words don’t belong to the items, he looks for his wallet and finds his phone. But every day when we wake up he says I am so pretty and he loves me. This is the reminder I need to get me through my day. Your right our trips consist of the grocery stores etc. I just bought new bedroom furniture and a bed it was hard art first getting him used to it but now he loves it. We just keep plodding along and realize this is now our life it’s really hard since we only get one life.

@jeanadair123 Looks for his wallet and finds his phone. There is nothing humurous about this disease but I chuckle this morning reading that line in your post, becasue that's what my husband does. I sound like a broken record everyday, "do you have your wallet, do you have your phone, do you have your key, do you have your bookbag. We have a process now where we lay everything in one place. Not sure how long that will last but we're trying to adjust to the new normal. If that's what this is called. I agree, just the mere fact that your husband wakes up and sees your beauty, is a wonderful coveted thing. Interesting, my husband tells me that too...........and for now, that's a blessing for us to hold onto.
