Hello
I am sitting here at work, it is 7.20am and I am wondering if I should be here at all!! David attended the Memory clinic yesterday and as I thought he has dropped another two points. In the great scheme of things his score is very good compared to some (22 out of 30) but I have been aware over the last six months that he had taken a slight drop.
I feel so sad today and quite emotional in that I cannot get my head around whether I should be here trying to keep a roof over our heads or on benefits so I can spend more time with David. He is such a wonderful husband and always has been. He has always been there for me when I had problems and I feel as though I desert him everyday.
The CPN has given us some dates when they run special days out for people with early onset (David is only 57) and I will encourage David to take advantage of this.
We have also got his name down for a Day Centre for younger folks.
Sorry for feeling so sorry for myself and I know we are only just starting off on the long journey of AD, but I wondered if there are others who feel the same?
