November is a long way off and I just attended a workshop that was more geared to the vendors and their agendas. We are dealing with a double plate menu. My husband has been experiencing memory loss and decreasing cognition for the past 5-6 years. February we were served desert. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was treated with 9 weeks of radiation therapy and started lupron injections. He could not convey what was happening or what he was experiencing because in november they stepped up the diagnosis to frontaltemporal atrophy and dementia. His only way of expressing what was happening was the desire to leave or go somewhere. We made it through the radiation, but his dementia went to mid stage 2. I was a basket case trying to keep him around people for the dementia and dealing with the incontinence and the progression of the dementia. our neurologist will have to study some more. He says we need memory care or assisted living. He would not last two days in either before they kicked him out. He has no boundaries when it comes to going in other people's stuff. I have started my recovery focus on myself with resuming my chiropractic therapy and dental care. I broke a tooth off 4 weeks ago and am getting a crown. Our lab retriever had the same kind of cancer as my husband, a repeat from last year so when they told me adenocarcinoma was slow growing, I screamed, I am looking at it on the outside of my dog's leg. The dog underwent surgery last friday and lab reytievers are the smartest dogs I have ever seen. He could not tell us it was hurting and swelling under the top incision, but he could try and succeed in getting the bandade off so we could see it. Happy trails, we have a long way to go.
