Hello everyone at taking point I haven't posted for such a long time I been having a really hard time over these last 6 months my OH s Alzheimer's progressed rapidly too the points of not being able too cope , the Alzheimer's advanced so fast he wouldn't sit down he didn't sleep it was walking all day long and all night too he'd sleep for only a short while and want me out of bed for him to make the bed straightening the covers for hours and thenwe would be up and out early hours of the morning walking ,we'd get back home then no sooner took my coat off we'd be back out ,he also started doing strange things ,through the night I'd be in bed and have to get up as he'd be trying to go out walking continually pestering for me to get out of bed and unlock the doors pulling at them this went on for hour and hours , we carried on for weeks and weeks he pestering all day and all night to go out he just couldn't stay still ,calling me different names not by my own name I really don't think he new me ,getting really cross with me and then getting very emotional,he was so tormented you could see it in his face , The memory clinic tried different tablets and nothing seem to work for him ,this went on for quite a few weeks, and I got so run down couldn't eat ,sleep even drink a cup of tea without feeling poorly,i lost a lot of weight and sometimes I was so low I couldn't even be bothered talking to anyone so we had to call the crisis team in to help but it wasn't for long and finally I had to let my lovely OH go in a care home and all I can say the care home he's in is lovely and bright and the staff are all very caring people ,everyone at the care home love my husband ,and look after him really well they're very caring people, he has settled down and is happy doing just what he feels like . I've been going every day to see him and it's absolutely breaking me I'm heartbroken,when I get home I don't seem to be feeling any better ,I've been in hospital this weekend I was so ill and I've been in bed for 3 days trying my best to get well again as I haven't seen my lovely OH for days .sorry this post is so very long I just wanted to tell people that will know what I'm going through ,I miss him so much he was my life and I know I just didn't have the strength anymore to carry on caring I feel my life has gone and this sadness is unbearable but my love for him is as strong now as it was 51 years ago . Sorry for the long post again . Take care all you lovely lovely carers ,lot of love to each and every one of you .Xx
