it is almost 3 years since my OH was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and having gone through hell for 2 years prior it came as a relief to be honest. Having read this forum and other sources I immediately got the house and garden trip free and bath to shower room. Along with this a pendant alarm for use in the house obtained but has never been used.
Doneprisl seems to be the answer to why, as it seems to have eliminated most of anger issues and really slowed down the short term memoriy issues. All this, along with help from my family and a brilliant neighbour, has allowed me to have holidays abroad travelling solo as she is adamant she will never do so again. Along with this I have taken up golf again as respite time from endless watching of old time TV favourites as that is how she spends her days.
I know it must change and the disease will progress but when and how are questions that seem to have no answer but are tormenting me as it all seems to be the opposite of what I read here where most seem to have progressed relatively quickly to the ‘24 hour care level.’ Has anyone else had this kind of experience or, dare I say the word, Luck?
