Hi All,
Back in the land of the living after having yet another op. Dave visited me in hospital only to complain bitterly about pain in his back and his arm, I realised then that he wasn't coping very well with me being under the weather.
I arrived home after a couple of days feeling rather poorly, (I still have to have treatment at the cancer hospital).
For the first two days he rocked backwards and forwards holding his arm and moaning, I had to quickly get on my feet and look after him as he said he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even go to our local shop even though he had managed to get to town to visit me and call at the charity shop where I work occasionally.
On my insistance, which is unusual for Dave, he is always at the doctor's, I asked him to go to the GP. It appears that it is something to do with his nervous system and alcohol. In his younger years and before he was diagnosed with AD two years ago he was a big drinker. He doesn't drink at all now.
I was only away from home for 3 nights and he has gone down hill so much. Soon I will be going into hospital for about 4 nights, I am so worried what he is going to be like.
I have a feeling it is because I am not there to look after him. My daughter has noticed a big change in him, he is even sleeping on the settee because he says it is better for him, we have a spare bedroom but he won't use it. All these things have happened since I came home last Saturday.
Has anyone had this experience, could it be the AD or is it a coincidence that these symptoms came on when I wasn't there?
Love Dee
