Hi Jorbin
It is my wife who has dementia but I have had to learn a whole load of "new" skills. Being previously somewhat of a "kept man", these include:
How to work the washing machine (colour catchers are brilliant)
How to use the timer function on the oven (my total saviour)
How to cook (even beans on toast used to be a challenge)
How to choose new clothes for her - by judging their size/fit, rather than the size label
How to remember to send cards to everyone (my iPhone diary is God)
It's surprising what you can do when needs must?
Kind regards
Phil
