I am new to this site as well and so far I have learned a lot and taken some helpful advice. It is my husband who has Dementia and he is getting a CT scan soon to compare to a previous scan. This way doctors can see the progression of the disease. It is scary to watch our loved ones going deeper into themselves, changing almost day to day with this disease. His meds are maxed out for Dementia and I have heard from his doctor that Alzheimer’s meds do help with Dementia. And so the diagnosis from the CT scan might be what he needs to start taking the meds for Alzheimer’s. Some great advice is to take “one day at a time.” Stay in the present and try not to project about the future as that will make your burden heavier than what you are carrying now. I find that keeping in touch with others in the same situation brings me comfort and I know I am not alone.
Prayers for you and your wife, and welcome to our group.
