mrjohnwebb,
My heart definitely goes out to you. To care for your husband and your mother is quite an undertaking. May I suggest now that you comb your area for home health care because you will need it in the future. My husband has LBD. He was diagnosed in 2020. When he was well, he was Mr. Fixit! So early on in the disease, he wanted to fix everything...even though it wasn't broken. So, I explained that I need someone from outside to fix things so they would be guaranteed to work. He fought with me a bit, but I held my ground. We had spent thousands of dollars to repair my husband's solutions. Now, I give him laundry to fold. I bought a large amount of garage type rags. I put them in the dryer for a few minutes, and he will sit and fold them. He feels very productive then. Twice he has taken apart his baritone horn COMPLETELY. I have become well acquainted with the 90-year old gentleman who calmly puts it back together for $150. Be careful with new medications for your husband as people with LBD can have serious problems from medications. Good luck. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

@jan83404 I love the idea of folding laundry! I’m wondering if it would work for you to get some plastic plates cups and bowls so he could help empty and load the dishwasher.
I like your positive attitude!
