Hi @jennifer1967 - I think they are sensible rules. Even though we are still early on, I am learning that this sometimes is best all round. x
Agreed to see the doctor again.

Hi Bev. I hope you are well?
I am definitely learning from the forum, that further down the line, my patience would definitely be tested. No matter how much we love them, it still can not be easy to cope with the situations that we share on here. Sending hugs back x
Thanks @Izzy 🙏🏻, I will check out the link xThe talking clock sounds like a good idea. I see the Alzheimer’s Society shop sells them.
Clocks and watches
We have a varied range of Dementia clocks and watches to help people living with Dementia.shop.alzheimers.org.uk
yes the watches are there. They weren't in stock when I bought OH his . Looks as if there's a few to choose from now. XThe talking clock sounds like a good idea. I see the Alzheimer’s Society shop sells them.

Our daughter is coming over to help bless her it’s sad because my other half was always brilliant at DIY x
This is so lovely I love that you are still a very together couple You always make me feel better about things We need more positive people with their stories xx
I think I’m getting better It’s just trying to accept things as they now are I really value your advice on here x
Yes the one we got was from the RNIB as well. The only thing we found was the face was plastic and the silver finish faded over time. The ones on the Alzheimer's site may be stainless steel ,if so might be better
My OH no longer wears his as he has no concept of time now.
Hi @Banjomansmate - thank you. I have had a look at the watches online from RNIB. There are some nice looking ones. I will definitely keep these in mind. Hope you’re well and thanks again x
I've just looked at the RNIB site. The watch my oh has isn't there , The one I looked at is now a chrome face so maybe they had complaints about the ' silver' rubbing off the plastic one we had.
Hi all. Sorry but this is my only place to come to at the moment.
I’m sat in work just trying to hold it together.
We have no diagnosis as yet but the memory clinic phoned me earlier this morning.
They have some concerns that there is something wrong. They are ruling out any tumors, depression, anxiety or stress.
They are unable to give a diagnosis, without some further testing.
They said that we will get an appointment with a specialist in about a months time and they will either give a diagnosis, or potentially, request a PET Scan.
I just feel so alone and so sad.
My mum is the person I would have called straight away to talk about this 😢.
I want to shield my (grown up) daughters at the moment, until we know for sure.
My husband hasn’t even asked about this today, so I will probably just not say too much and let him know that there will be more appointments.
My life feels to have been shaken up so badly this past 9 months.
I am thankful to have the forum to turn to.
I just wish that I could get up from my desk and walk away x

I’m so sorry Rachel my husband had to have
another scan to confirm his diagnosis I understand how you feel about wanting to talk to your Mum though it’s many years since I lost my Mum I felt just the same It’s hard not to have someone to talk to I did have my daughters as the oldest was the one that brought it to my attention Some days I would just love to run away as it’s a very different life But my husband is still him just very muddled an forgetful I would speak to the Admiral nurses they are amazing Also look into groups you can go to I go to a carers group which helps so much I don’t feel quite so alone We went to the Alzheimer’s group together yesterday We had a brilliant group entertaining us I felt better after a rather stressful weekend Always here for a chat sending a gentle hug xx
Ah - thank you so much Bev. It helps so much because we all understand.
So many things going on in my head. I am losing hope now and feel that a diagnosis is heading our way.
I am missing my mum so much.
Thank you for your words and the hug. Hugs back to you xxx
Thank you so much @jennifer1967. That is just how it feels. I just want to know what we are facing.
Thank you for your support x
I think a good rant is a good thing! My mother in law used to tell me she could scream (she never knew why) I used to respond with "so could I, should we scream together?" She used to smile, in a resigned way, and neither of us screamed. (she's become noise sensitive, and it'd just add to the problems...)
And a rant here may just elicit a good (useful) response from someone with a similar, but earlier experience...
