Will fell and didn’t tell me. He was sitting on the edge of the tub and lost his balance and slid down the outside. He said his rear end hurt but not enough to go to the doctor.
He is going to the doctor tomorrow because he has lumps in each breast that comes and goes - I’m wondering if it could be hormones.
Going to a specialist next year who has a great reputation with Dementia/Alzheimer’s to find out if there are better meds for Dementia. I have read Alzheimer’s meds can be helpful for Dementia and Will’s meds are at the maximum with nothing else available. Going to ask her opinion about Alzheimer’s meds and side affects I have read about. I am excited to find out more about the meds.
Take care and get some rest!

Last night we were told that a good friend (and Bill's only buddy) had died the night before. I wasn't sure if I should tell Bill or not but decided he would want to know as he was expecting to see Kirby soon. After a momentary reaction he seemed completely okay with it, which surprised me. Earlier yesterday Bill had mentioned he wanted to die rather than continuing living the hell he is going through.
He seems to get weaker day by day. But he puts on such a good act for doctors and nurses that he don't think he needs any help. And I can't seem to get through to them.
