@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.

For a while I had a sign on the garage door wallet, keys, cap etc.
This doesn’t seem to help anymore. Yesterday was his appointment with the neurologist which the mri confirmed that he has moderate dementia. We have a choice to continue the way we are or take one tablet of Aricept at night or two Namenda? I would like to ask if anyone else’s other partners have taken either of these? Both of these can provide some noticeable difference within 30 days while slowing the progression. Aricept has been on the market since 1996 and Namenda since 2003. Cognitive function can be improved but will not cure of course. Any info would be appreciated. I might add that the dr said he wished all his patients were as happy. 😁Thanks
