I agree with all you have said Thethirdmrsc ,and feel the same ! No one knows unless you’ve lived this life change.
Peter, all my heartfelt sympathy. As you say, an awful situation. With love kindredJust got a phone call from the home. Apparently Bridget’s oxygen levels are dropping on occasion and her appetite is not good. She’s stuck in her room till Friday because she tested Covid positive and it’s no wonder her health is suffering. The home mentioned hospital but that’s a no no as far as I’m concerned as she would freak out if sent there.
The doctor is being contacted and I’m unable to move out the house because I’m recovering from surgery. What a awful situation.
Care homePeter, is Bridget in a care home or a nursing home?
Bridget stopped recognising me before she went into the home. Went to the hospital 4 times looking for “me”. I’ve accepted it and we’re like good friends now. The relationship needs constant renewal regularly that’s why not going for over 2 weeks has thrown a spanner in the works. I’ve got to start all over again.I got to actually touch my husband today after 2 weeks apart due to Covid, albeit with gloves on. Nothing beats a face to face visit, but it’s amazing the downhill nature of the disease in such a short space of time, due to the isolation. When he stops recognising me, then I hope that death takes him.
