For the last 2 years we have lived under the 'shadow' of the short term memory problem... Mild Cognitive Impairment...no treatment possible, no answers to the many questions...Now he has the diagnosis, Alzheimers (the dreaded word). Now we have a treatment...not a cure but something....! He has been my rock, my husband and my friend for 52 years, he's always been there for me......he organised finances, travelling, social life etc and has always had a great sense of humour.... he always makes me laugh.......! I'm going to lose him.....I know it, I just don't know when.
How do I plan for this? How do I ensure that he is happy? How do I organise our life together? What support is there locally? Will he accept it? (He seems to be unaware of his condition)....How do I make my family understand the significance of this?
