Tom woke me in the middle of the night, he was sobbing and distraught,

He was totally convinced that he had upset me and it took me a long to settle him.

He is still tearful this morning, I am a loss of how to deal with this, it is so hard to see him so upset.

Dear Helen

Oh dear! This is so sad.
Do you think Tom might be picking up on any anxieties you might be having. Dementia or not, I do know Blind people are extra sensitive at picking up vibes.
Whatever the cause, it`s just another addition to the stress you are under . xx

Helen hope your Tom is calmer, Now what have you been upto , Trev can pick up on my vibes, even if I think i am hiding my distress, he just acts more agitated if I am down. expect it will be same with Tom, but we cannot always be sunshine and light and I never was very good at faking it. Hope Tom has a much better day and gives you a break, how are the spanish lessons going. well i hope OLA. love to you both Pam

Yes I think Tom is picking up on all the hospital and Docs visits.

I need a distraction tactic, wish the weather was better, Tom hates going out in the cold and wet.

I need to buy him a new vac then he can potter about upstairs:rolleyes::rolleyes:
