Enjoy and remember the good days
Most posts are sad. There are some bright lights.
After two weeks of angry frustration, paranoia, diarrhea, Patti settled into deciding she loved me and would accommodate my wishes, like taking her pills, or going to a strange doctor. She accepts that the doors are so warped that she needs help to open them. She progressed to 23mg of aricept, and her stomach has adjusted. T V shows now seem confusing, but music on the radio is enjoyable. We play table games. She accepts that I need a half-hour stretch break every couple hours. She enjoys weekly afternoons with Keith, while I go off "doing my things." Those of you in doldrums or in crises, take heart. There are some good times.

That is really great to hear, LeeMG! I'm so glad you shared the positives with us.

Fathers day and we have been able to attend church two Sundays in a row. Patti's daughter and son-in-law are concerned about my well being and suggested a housecleaner come in once a week, allowing me to do yard work around the place. They assured me I was doing good housework, but a friend is out of work and could use a part time job.
