Hi everyone
Tomorrow is the day I have arranged to go to doctors with Terry.
He thinks it is for an assessment because he has been on aricept for awhile.But it is really because he had slipped quite a lot in the last few weeks, losing his temper,becoming agitated etc.
However as expected since I made the appointment he has become a lot calmer,I have made a real effort not to leave him for too long,and to keep the grandchildren at arms length.
My problem is what do I tell the doc.I don,t want to exaggerate
the situation but Terry is a dab hand at appearing completely
pained at the whole process.
It was suggested when I asked for appointment that a nurse should come to our home. I think that would be great,but how do
I get through tomorrow without Terry becoming aware that we are working "behind his back"
Sometimes I think it would be better if his problems were more consistent!SCRUB THAT I KNOW THATS RUBBISH.
I just feel I am walking on eggshells and I am not very good at it.
Thanks for listening feel better now it is in print. I will cope
as I know everyone else does,with lots more problems than I have
regards
Jan
