No he has not been evaluated to see what stage he is in. I am new to ALL this i have no idea of stages. So do they just keep experience stages until they pass? I despise this disease its horrible. He has COPD and bi-polar also. I guess I am totally confused and I am getting scared and lonely. I talk to him like nothings wrong mostly he just stairs at me. Funny he inherited yelling from his father..Heaven forbid if I raise my voice than he raises his and says you don't have to yell at me. This is my second marriage I moved away from my children who I barely see but talk to them constantly to be with this man in 2006..married in 2008. Its been a true learning experience at 73..looking back bi-polar, alzheimer's doesn't exist in my family who are mostly deceased. He also pounds his feet when he walks which he barely ever does..walk that is. I wish I could just run away and hide as if the role was reversed he'd probably expect my kiddos to take care of me as he goes back to Indiana. His children do not talk to him..it had to be a mess as his 1st ex-wife who he married twice has b-polar and so does the daughter that's one house i would run away from back than. Thanx for your help
