@willow8 For repairs, I employ the same strategy recommended by @kjc48; namely, I just schedule a service call with a Technician or Handyman and tell my husband shortly before that individual arrives that he/she will be there to assess the problem and hopefully to fix it. If my husband objects, I tell him that he and I discussed it and he agreed that having a professional in to do the repair is the best course of action. Now sometimes we have discussed it and sometimes not but he will rarely push back because he can’t remember if he agreed or not! One silver lining that this terrible disease affords us!
