My wife about two and half years ago may have had a stroke which created some kind of lasting brain damage or quickly developed dementia. She just stopped doing anything--driving, cooking, watching TV, calling or getting together with friends, cleaning, changing her clothes, and bathing. She didn't want me to leave the house and didn't want anyone to come over. I finally got her place in a Memory Care Center so I could have some quality of life, but we still love each other and visit often at the facility. I don't want to bring her home, because I'm afraid she won't want to leave. She wants me to stay over there as long as possible, which ends up being more than 3 hours or so, every other day. That's a little much for me, since she doesn't say anything, but I take naps or talk to her roommate or roommate's relatives. I guess I should consider myself lucky.
