I have been reading posts on this forum for a couple of years but never had the nerve to post myself. My husband has Alzheimer’s, diagnosed three years ago, and I am his sole carer. I have really benefited from reading all your posts and it has helped as we have gone through from day today facing new challenges. My husband has many underlying problems and his mobility is very poor but we keep going enjoying each other’s company from day to day.
However, a week ago he was taken into hospital with a tummy problem. During the day he had a temperature and an infection so was put on the isolation ward and tested for coronavirus. This came back negative but he is still on the isolation ward and I am not allowed to visit him. I cannot even get to speak to a nurse only the ward clerk so I don’t know anything about what is happening to him. I miss him so much but I cannot do anything about it as I also am in my 70s and have to keep my distance from others at present. I know that because of the circumstances at the moment I can’t change things but it is just nice to be able to share it with people who understand .
