I hope you and your wife are moving along with whatever path you have chosen and are doing well. It is quite an adjustment in many ways. It sounds as though you two are able to talk and plan together which is such a blessing and wonderful. My husband and I are doing the same. Right now his diagnosis is early MCI. Sometimes I feel as though we are on a treadmill as we are trying to get as many plans in place as possible while he can participate. I'm very grateful that he is accepting, open and we can continue a team approach as we have our married life. Some parts of his thinking are not as sharp as they use to be, other parts I can see no difference. I have no idea how long this part of the disease will allow him to participate with me, but we plan to take advantage of each and every day. I agree with the person who wrote, "When you have seen one Alzheimer's patient, you've seen one Alzheimer's patient". It's a most perplexing disease; it seems that each person travels their own journey. Our outlook is to plan for the worse and hope for the best-along with enjoying each and every minute we have while being as pro-active as possible. I wish many enjoyable minutes for you and your wife as you plan for your future.
