Thank you for all of your helpful suggestions. I bought the Alzheimer’s clock today showing the day and date and the large calendars for his doctor or test dates and use a yellow highlighter. Next will be ordering groceries online and pick up or have delivered. A housekeeper for the kitchen and bathroom sounds great. I need the time to take care of myself and spend time with my husband going to senior activities and enjoying ourselves. I am trying to think differently when I am feeling annoyed at him. I say to myself “he is sick and he is doing the best he can” and trying not to correct him (just suggest) and not argue because of the tension these remarks create. Thank you again for your advice!

Sometimes i do have to yell at him. He will act like he hears and understands what i am saying but i find out, later either he didn't hear, understand or remember but at the time agrees with me. Some days better than others, and i know it will not go away. So thank you Mayo and caretakers for sharing.
