I went through this same thing. Husband diagnosed at 59 and slowly I lost him more each day. Passed away this last year after a 10 year battle. I know the agony of watching my Darling slip away just as you are. The regrets are always with me. I wish I had done this or that. He used to hid things and some things I eventually found after many hours of searching. I have still not found his wedding ring. One day it was just gone. He lost the ability to carry on any conversation the last years before his death. We would have celebrated our 50 anniversary the this last year.
Hi Sharon, Thank you for writing and sharing your story. I am sorry about your husband. It sound like you did a wonderful job caring for him. I hope you will be able to share more tips for the rest of us still embattled with this disease.

Marilyn, First and foremost you must take care of yourself. If he is getting violent with you, please take him to his doctor. Medicines can help with outbursts and tempers. It is too dangerous for you to not take action at this time. Everyone has an opinion on nursing homes vs. home care. Ultimately, it boils down to what is best for you and what is best for your husband. People who tell you what to do (keep him home) are not the ones there 24/7 taking care of him and worrying about his abusive behavior. I have come to understand the sometimes nursing homes allow a caregiver to step away from the caregiving role and transition back to being a loved one; spouse, child, etc. It is something that you will have to decide, but I encourage you to get help immediately for his outbursts and violent behavior.
Pharmaceuticals have helped a lot. He was in a counseling program for a short time, and was prescribed Zoloft to help him with his depression. He, too, was aware that he was slipping, was aware that his Mom and Dad had died and was grieving every day. He has been taking Alprazolam as needed for anxiety for several years.
Virginia, I am so glad your husband is still able to help a little and able to be kind. Thank you for sharing the information on his medication. I am sure that is helpful to others reading this post. Take care of yourself!
My husband is also in the stages of alzheimers and parkinsons. The fact that he lost a leg years ago means he can never wander away from me (never knew that would be a blessing). He is demanding but parkinsons has robbed him of muscles so he is chair bound. He remains to be very sweet, kind, always apologizing and telling us he loves us. My commitment is to keep him at home as long as my health will allow BUT if he was able to get around and was abusive, I would already be seeing about moving him somewhere. Knives, guns, any object that can be used to hurt or hit you should be removed. For that reason, I would move him while you are still unharmed. You should never feel guilt.We are all doing the best we can and I have already suffered a stroke and heart problems and my blood pressure stays high. Caregivers are overlooked. Take care and know that we understand. Blessings to you.
Oh Glenda, please, please take care of yourself. I hope you are getting help at home taking care of your husband. It is obvious your health is suffering so please be sure to monitor yourself. Thank you for sharing your story and stay strong.
thank you for sharing. I feel like a am in early stages. I see my mind slipping away rapidly. It runs deep in my family both sides. My older sister has had it for about 4 years now. I am so scared and hope I die before i am diagnosed.
We're talking about minor goofs and tiny errors that create small blips in Ghost Whisperer's haunted world. From the confusion that emerges when Jim Clancy merges with Sam Lucas to funny slip-ups with Melinda's laptop, here are nine times the Ghost Whisperer overlooked something obvious.
However, every now and again, attentive viewers have noticed that some of Jim's coworkers have also slipped a time or two and referred to him as Dr. Clancy, his old last name. Since nobody knows about Jim Clancy in Sam Lucas' body but Melinda, this is perhaps the show's biggest goof, and you can hear an example about 9 minutes into "Do Over."
4. While dining at a romantic restaurant for your anniversary, slip your spouse a handwritten love note. (Husbands, make arrangements for a bud vase with a red rose to be at your table.)
11. Wives, give your husband a small wooden box filled with handwritten notes about why you love and respect him. Include some pictures of the two of you along with memorabilia from the past year.
Interview with First Lady Laura Bush by Jim Angle of FOX NewsSea Island, Georgia 7:25 A.M. EDT Q Good morning. And we are here with First Lady Laura Bush.Good morning. MRS. BUSH: Good morning. Thanks, Jim. Q Here in a beautiful spot in Sea Island, Georgia. MRS. BUSH: That's right. This is actually where we hosted the G8last night, the leaders and their spouses right here. The tables wereright here with this beautiful ocean view behind us. Q It is lovely. Let me ask you, obviously this week, a lot ofpeople are talking about the passing of Ronald Reagan. Have you beenin touch with Nancy Reagan? MRS. BUSH: I haven't talked to Nancy Reagan. The President talkedto her on Saturday, as soon as we heard about Ronald Reagan, but Ihaven't stopped thinking about her. She has been just through herwhole life, really, through their entire marriage, such a wonderfulexample to people in the United States. And certainly I know what it's like, because my father died ofAlzheimer's, to take care of someone to watch them slip away in thatlong goodbye, as they call the disease. And I know how very, verydifficult it was for her and how devoted she was and is to him. Q And you plan to go and see her when -- MRS. BUSH: That's right. We'll call on her as soon as we get backto Washington tomorrow afternoon. And then we'll of course be at thefuneral and we'll host at the White House before the funeral the headsof state who are coming in for Ronald Reagan's funeral. Q Ronald Reagan was a special politician. This week, evenDemocrats who opposed his policies were praising his charm and his witand his steadfastness in sticking up for what he believed. What do yousee as special about Ronald Reagan? MRS. BUSH: Well, all of those things. But especially that hebelieved in the American people and that he was optimistic. I thinkthose are two great characteristics of a leader and I think that's whyhe was so popular with the American people. We knew him. You know, we got to be with him a few times, becauseGeorge's dad was his Vice President. He was funny and he was fun andhe made us feel welcome and comfortable when we were with him. AndI'll always think of him as the big man that he was and the great senseof humor that he had. Q Is that what you remember about him, the big, affable guy? MRS. BUSH: That's right. Well, the very -- he was a very bigman. He was a very, very attractive, big man, in that he filled a roomwhen he came into it. But still, he was very modest and his humor wasself-deprecating and modest and there was something very appealingabout that. Q He loved to tell jokes. MRS. BUSH: He loved to tell jokes. And he didn't tell us jokes,but we certainly got to hear his jokes from President Bush. Q So former President Bush would pass them on? MRS. BUSH: He'd pass them on and tell us -- tell them to us.(Laughter.) Q Now, he was a man who knew what he thought and stuck to hisguns even when his policies were controversial, even when he was takinga lot of flack both here at home and abroad. Remind you of anyone? MRS. BUSH: A little bit, I'll have to say. But he did. Andreally to his great credit, we did see the end of communism, we did seeall of these emerging democracies in Central Europe because of hissteadfastness. And you have to really respect that and admire that.The world changed because of his steadfastness. Q You know, one of the other things was he really broadened theRepublican party. He created a lot of new Republicans during thoseeight years in office. And aside from your husband's natural charm,one might argue that there were a lot more Republican voters inclinedto vote for a Republican President -- MRS. BUSH: Well, I think that's probably right. He certainly didthat and, because he chose President Bush as his Vice President, hemade a huge difference in our lives. Q Let me ask you about something you're doing to try to make adifference in people's lives here at the summit. You were trying to, Isuppose it's fair to say, elevate women's issues here at the summit.What are you doing? MRS. BUSH: Well, today I'm going to meet with the spouses of theG8 leaders and we've invited a woman from the Iraqi Governing Councilto come and talk with us and a woman from the Afghan GoverningCouncil. We have an Iraqi Fulbright scholar, a young woman who isstudying here in the United States. People may not be aware that wehave 25 Iraqi Fulbright scholars in the United States now. We're going to talk about ways we can assist our sisters in thebroader Middle East with health care, with education to make sure womenare educated and that little girls have the chance to go to school.And I'm really looking forward -- it's going to be a very formal -- aninformal dialogue. We'll be sitting around a round table and I hope itwill be a really interesting -- I think it will be -- reallyinteresting and informative. Q Well, we wish you the best of luck. And thank you very muchfor joining us this morning. It's very nice of you. MRS. BUSH: Thanks so much, Jim. Good to see you. END 7:30 A.M. EDT Printer-Friendly Version Email this page to a friend
Earlier that week, Kate's husband, Jim, nothing if not industrious, had placed an order online for one dozen baby turtles. Sliders they were called--tiny sweet things with orange patterned bellies and shellac-black shells. His hope: to kick-start the as yet uninhabited pond into life.
Jack climbs the stairs, looking worn out. Sinatra plays on the jet's stereo; he is almost always playing on the jet's stereo, and Jack always notices if someone tries to slip in a different CD (a Motown disc made it one song). Jack says his good mornings, slumping into the big, blue leather seat in the middle row. "I'm still deciding on whether to go," he says. 2ff7e9595c
