I have been paying attention to our evening. Just now he got up, looks around like he’s in a new store or something and stops walking, head swiveling around as if to orientate himself.
“Were you looking for something, Hon?”
“Not sure.”
“Do you need water?”
“No, it’s not that.”
“Do you need to pee?”
“Yes.” (As he heads to the laundry room)
“It’s down the hall.” By this time I’m getting up. He is now on his chair at the kitchen table.
“Ok, Hon, let’s go.”
“Where?”
Jean, how do you cope with that? The frustration level has to be sky high, and even with great love, it must be so hard.
You know, Judy, it’s incredibly unreal but not frustrating. I guess I feel so sorry for him – he is so confused but so kind and gentle. I thought I’d start writing some of the scenarios which play out many times a day – not for pity but to tell it like it really is.Hope you and Mr.K are fine.
You are so patient and loving. How fortunate Wayne is to have you if this awful disease had to be in his future.
