Hi, my wife Pammy has dementia and I am her full time carer, we have been married for 68 years,
Pammy is 84 and I am 87. I keep my self fit so I can manage all the chores. Pammy has had this dreadful illness
For 8 years now and we have been through the slapping face, and anger, being shut out of the house period ( I have slept in the car many nights ) but now things have calmed down a lot, not sure if it is the Memantine she is taking Or not, but she is with me, I could not put her in a home I just love her around me although it is very very hard work. I talk to Pammy just as though there is nothing wrong I spend a lot of time trying to make her laugh and some times I do get a smile, I would love to have her back, in fact I wrote a song about it, called (I Want My Pammy Back ). When each of the family heard the song, they all cried, of coarse I did too,
Who knows maybe one day this may happen, please god.
Take care every one. Cyril.
