We had watched the news, “Would you like to go for a walk? I’ll just sign you out.”
“I wish you could sign me out forever.”
Some days he floors me with his comments.

Big hugs
I love you
Awww that’s sad. My best to you as you care for him. It’s tough.
I hope you know you can’t do that, Jean, much as you might like to.
His comment is amazing…… Alzheimer’s is hated….
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Wayne.
Love,
Dolores
Do you think some of his comments are made but he really doesn’t understand why he’s said that, especially since he seems happy and content at this place. Maybe he meant he would like to be outside enjoying the fresh air forever.

Even with this awful disease he is witty…gotta love him:)
Awwww. So sad.
Sometimes I am so moved by your posts that I feel I cannot comment until I realize this is your real life. If you can live it, surely I can comment. You are helping a lot of people besides Wayne whether you know it or not.
Jean, I so appreciate how you are so honest in telling us how everything is going. No sugar-coating– you are willing to put even the most painful stuff out there. It helps me as a daughter of an AD patient (still at home with us, but spiraling down fast) not feel so alone. Thank you. Praying for you and W.
Love, Laura
Blessings…there are no words. Hugs.
You can tell that he is happy there. I know that those comments cut you but you know that is is content.
Hugs,
SMB
In many ways you two are the lucky ones…you still have him, where others have given up, and stopped visiting.
I feel the same sometimes. Sign me out forever. But I am sure he does not mean what he says. If I believed everything mom as said to me lately I would be so sad all the time. She does say I love you sometimes. I believe that.
That just breaks my heart. Hang in there, my friend…we’re here for you.
My 85 year old Dad had an accident that resulted in a badly broken arm which resulted in surgery. It’s been a nightmare 3 days with the anesthesia causing really vivid hallucinations and making him uncontrollable. This episode seems to confirm our suspicions that we’re dealing with early stages of AD or dementia. I’ve thought of you even more than usual these last 3 days. I don’t know how you’ve handled Wayne by yourself all this time. You are truly a wonderful and patient person who has shown unconditional love for a husband. My total and complete admiration is forever yours.
HUGS
His heart remembers. sandie
