My wife has, every 4/5 days, a complete blank day. Apart from the difficult couple of hours getting a daily wash and dress (most days) she is now inclined to do nothing, every few days. She seems content to sit and watch tv, or just sit there fiddling with her handbag. No interest in going out for a walk, even on a nice day. She is physically fit and well and, was recently diagnosed and cleared from a UTI. My powers of persuasion are such that the response is "No, I don't want to" Times like this make me feel like an inadequate carer. Love her to bits, and will never give up trying to keep some quality of life for her. But it is wearing. I wish for her to spend her years at our home, but on days like today Ifeel totally lost.
