Hi all!
I'm going home for the first time in 2 years.
While my family knows that I do have some issues with speaking, they have no idea how bad my everyday events have gotten in the last 2 years.
I have early dementia (I'm 58) and am in the middle range of dementia as per my neurologist.
It's not my memory that I worry about, it's that utter confusion when I'm away from my husband. Also, when I get upset, I tend to cry.
This is such an important trip and I don't want to ruin it for anyone; however, I know how my mind plays tricks on me. I know to get good rest and to limit my stress, however, my husband won't be with me.
I have the symptom where I feel like I'm underwater or watching myself screw everything up.
Also, I seem to be getting worse quicker than before.
Any advice you could give me would be so appreciated.
Thank you,
Tovah
