Aaw it’s awful isn’t it I hope it soon goes. Horrible feeling feels like you floating & you head is swimming. Ye it would be too easy to lose you balance. Your OH sounds a lot more advanced than mine. I wouldn’t worry about having a short fuse he will forget quickly . I don’t need to be ill to have a short fuse Ha ha. I’m the same love my kids to bits & granddaughters . Couldn’t go through this without them & my close friends. Oh Ye & the cat mustn’t forget him . Take good care of yourself .xx
My husband always waits for me to prepare his breakfast, so I can't sleep in in the morning.
He could get it ready himself, but it would take longer and he finds it easier to be served by me.
I'm sorry you are not well. Being dizzy is an awful sensation. I suffered from dizziness three years ago , it was terrible.
I felt as if I were walking on a treadmill and I had to be careful how I moved my head, because some positions induced dizziness.
My husband didn't care much.. His Alzheimer's was still undiagnosed, but he was as uncaring as he is now.
I am so sorry for you and your husband.
It is surprising a man in his conditions was discharged from hospital.
Hope you can find a way out of such a distressing situation. Are you thinking of a care home?
(((Hugs)))

Oh MIA56 you certainly have had more than your share of heartache recently. Hope that by bringing J home you are not going to be overwhelmed. He sounds really poorly . Hope when you see the Dr he tells you exactly what to expect. I would do the same you need to know . Whatever happens look after yourself aswell . Thinking of both of you. Lots of love & (((hugs ))) my friend. xxx

Hi all, @margherita @longlostfan hope you are well. Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny day so I thought I would get in the garden & do some tidying up . OH decided to go round the borders & get the weeds out which took him most
Whoops don’t know what happened above. Which took him most of the day. I had to help him up numerous times as he couldn’t get back up after weeding . Then he could hardly walk his mobility is really getting bad now. When eating his lunch he started to cough again as though he was choking .This time though he was ok. I said to him to be careful & chew his food well . I had to laugh to myself I asked him did he know where the pressure washer was as I was going to do the decking. He said our son had borrowed it ages ago . I just said I don’t think so . So later I txt him & sure enough yeah he has it. I said to him I’m not sure who has the Alzheimers here you Dad or me. It seems some days they are on the ball with there memory then others not. Me well I’m not sure about mine ha ha ha. I was on Utube I went on this site it’s called Careblazers it’s a lady Dr talking about all dementia’s she said carers are 6 times more prone to get dementia. I certainly hope not. @margherita @longlostfan have a look at this . It’s really interesting. Well it’s late gonnatry & get some sleep didn’t get much last night OH was up & down about 5 times. Today we are at Warfarin clinic . Hope it’s fine again & I can get back in garden when we get home . Speak soon folks . Take good care of yourselves. X
Hi all hope you have had a peaceful weekend. @margherita @longlostfan@MIA56 how’s things with you all. Yesterday I went for birthday lunch with my friend my treat. We do this every year for each other. Really enjoyed it great lunch & a few laughs along the way just what I needed. Told OH where I was going on return his face could turn milk sour no speaking at all. Grumpy git. Felt like saying yes Ive really enjoyed myself especially the time away from you. He was like a spoilt kid as soon as I got in he went upstairs & was there for hours . Back down later still not speaking. As I’ve said I can’t put this all down to dementia as this is how he has been all the years we’ve been married. He hates to think I go out anywhere on my own. I am not gonna change now for him if I give up my friends I will turn into a miserable grumpy git like him. He would love for me to sit around the house like him doing absolutely nothing . Well it ain’t gonna-happen .I need my time away from him to keep my sanity & I love catching up with my friends . He is not up yet can stop in bed for me. As I know he will still be in mood. Well at least no speaking no argument. I get so annoyed it’s not the fact of the no speaking I’m used to that. It’s the carrying on like a little kid the pettiness . He’s 84 for gods sake not 4. Not gonna change now though is he been like it all 34 years of our married life. Oh how I wish things were different & I had done something about it years ago. He tries to put the guilt trip on me . When I was younger the odd time back then that I went out with a friend . He would always say well you go out the door is locked & you stay out. How pathetic I was because sometimes I would cancel with my friend . She used to say he has you like a doormat. You are soft enough to allow it to happen & it still goes on only now he doesn’t come out with that saying . As he knows where I would tell him to go. Well rant over folks .As you can tell he puts me in a fowl mood. Have a good day all. Speak soon .take care Love to all. Xxx.

Hi @Beads ,
Nothing new in my life.
Time passes by, I grow older, there is less and less time left for me to live the way I would like to.
My husband has been spending much time in the garden since Spring has arrived at last.
He has been less aggressive for some time, maybe because I try not to contraddict him. I have given up having any sort of conversation with him. His memory is poor, but his reasoning faculties even poorer.
I read here on TP that reasoning deteriorates faster than memory in PWDs.
And you? How are you doing? I suppose you are busy with your daughter's wedding and your grandchildren.
Your family (apart from your Grumpy) is a real godsend.
Regarding your OH, I do hope he has not changed his mind and will not take part in the wedding.
