I'll be glad when he sees the doctor on the 20th. Hopefully I'll understand more of what the MRI is showing. Reading it one way everything seems normal - look at it a little differently and possible dementia and white matter problem.
I'm getting the silent treatment now because I didn't agree to move into an apartment with him. And, since he claimed he could do everything himself he had to get his own water. Which he can do but likes being waited on (promptly). I have the feeling he doesn't like it that I have the family's support (both sides of our extended family).
And he is back to demanding the car keys. You would not want to share the road with him!
Not only is each day up and down but it seems like most hours are up and down.

Good morning, @billchitwood
Good to read you have unified family support in your caregiving! That can certainly make a tough journey a bit easier!
Driving was one of the tougher issues for my wife to give up for sure. We finally resorted to having her take an electronic driving test and her favorite doctor gave her the decision that she was unsafe at any speed.
My wife's mood swings often reminded me of riding a roller coaster. While the huge hills and drops were tough, it was always that series of small hills at the end that challenged me far more! Up-down-up-down-up-down-hit-the-brakes!
Wishing you a good day, today with Strength, Courage, & Peace
