Hi everyone,
Three weeks after that " sudden turn of events " which led my husband to permanent care, he seems to have settled in well.
I haven't seen him yet partly not to interfere and cause further restlessness, partly because I haven't had my vaccination yet and the rules of the care home are very strict.
Yesterday my husband was examined by the head physician of the neurological department of the biggest ( and hopefully best) hospital in the area. I could speak to him after the medical visit and he also wrote a short report .
My husband's health is still good , but his reasoning faculty and memory are completely nonexistent. The neurologist couldn't even have him take the MMSE test because he didn't have a clue what he was being asked to do. What surprised and relieved me is that he said he likes where he is living and called it " home". According to the neurologist my husband somehow thinks he owns the whole building and the garden and is very pleased with it.
He didn't mention me , which is a relief. I do hope he doesn't remember me or miss my presence, even though I will be visiting him regularly and checking he gets all the cares he needs.
