Welcome, @heidiruth. Just by posting here, you've joined the group along with @jackchap and @SusanEllen66 so far.

I'm sorry to hear about your fall and ongoing stiffness and pain. Are you still doing physiotherapy to help?

Hi, my husband, has been diagnosed with MCI in memory loss. His executive functioning is superior. But I am feeling alone dealing with his forgetfulness, repeating of stories, and simple repetitive tactical things that I teach him over and over, like how to retrieve a Venmo, for example. Some days I'm better than other days, but it seems to be progressing faster than I had thought, and I feel overwhelmed. I'm supporting the household, have 5 children and grandchildren and I also am primary care giver to my mother in assisted living with dimentia. How do I cope with all of this. I feel hopeless some days and am getting depressed myself. My friends don't know and my children do know but they have their own lives.
