my husband is in middle stages of Alzheimer’s. He has been on the max amount of medication for five years and it took three years before that for a doctor to take my concerns seriously.
People will say to me have you taken him to a doctor. or they say you know there is medication for that, you need to get him on it.
We are educated people who tried to stay healthy, and my husband’s mother and grandmother both suffered from this disease.
I am starting to get offended by these remarks.
My friend says they are trying to be helpful, I say helpful is perhaps chatting with him, offering to give him a ride to golf, or just being nice. Most men act like its contagious.
Does anyone think I would ignore his deterioration and just blissfully go on.
I need some responses to these people, and clever Tuggers always know the answer.
