Dear triss, welcome to TP.
So sorry to read that your husband may now have to go into a nursing home following his two strokes.
Please try not to see this as too much of a downturn. Yes, he may need more in the way of care now, but as long as you can still get to him to visit, you should be able to carry on as you were.
It is so hard to come to terms with this illness, and we can only hope that our loved ones can have the care they need.
Please let us know how you get on.
I do know where you are at, as my partner (66) is in care home, and I am on my own.

Dear triss, my husband too is in a nursing home, as a result of a severe infection which made him lose his mobility.
I know how lonely it is, and how distressing when all you want is to be able to bring the loved one home.
Keep visiting here on TP, there are lots of psople who know exactly how you feel, and will support you.

Dear Triss,
Welcome to Talking Point.
My husband was 58 when he was first diagnoise with AD.
Ten months ago at the age of 61 was placed in an E.M.I. Unit.
I too an disabled and live alone but at the end of the day I know my husband is receiving 24/7 care which I was not able to give and was putting us both at risk.
Best wishes
Christine
