Thanks to you both for suggestions. We have a memory clinic appointment in a couple of weeks - these appointments have always been helpful though now reduced from every six months to every nine months and I will bring it up there. His GP is not helpful - I know more about Alzheimers than he (the GP) does but the memory nurse has been supportive and positive.
Nothing, of course, actually addresses the problems of caring for an active 73 year old, who believes there is nothing wrong with him, and that I am an employee of a business he is running (and a not very satisfactory employee at that) and that he has meetings day and night which require him to walk the streets talking gobbleydegook to passers by. Aaarrrgghhh
Oh how I sympathise Yanni - you must be so tired.
As I've said,
nobody in the Real World understands how exhausting it is caring for someone with AD like those of us on TP.
And I absolutely agree about the knowledge of ones GP. John was first diagnosed with Multiple Systems Atrophy. I went to the library and scoured medical books, and found an MSA society, that gave me loads of information. Basically, it meant that as well as brain cells dying, eventually other organs would die too.
In fact, about 6 years down the line, when he first had a UTI, and then a scan, it was discovered that one kidney had completely atrophied, and the following year, one testicle went the same way. I had told my GP all this, and he had a detailed report from the consultant, but didn't show any interest.
It wasn't until John's last couple of years, that he admitted, during a home visit, that he'd never heard of it, and had "recently looked it up"!! I was quite pleased when he retired.
Let's hope that your husband's company thrives, and he'll give you, as a very valued employee, a pay rise.
