  Hug

  From DeeAnn April 25, 2007

  My husband is a diabetic parapalegic stroke survivor with Mixed Dementia. He has had TIA's, which are small ministrokes and is in the early stages of Advanced Alzheimer's. At times he was angry and lashed out at whoever was handy, mainly me. As he cannot move himself, it is my responsibility to bathe, dress, get him in and out of bed. If left to himself, he would probably just stay in bed. So, I know how frustrated you can become just dealing with everyday care. I have been known to tell my husband that someone was expected to come over just to get him up and then tell him later that their plans had changed or that we might have to go out for something. We even made a few trips to the store that we could have avoided. It is terrible to have to fib, but it is sometimes necessary. Now it is a little easier as he doesn't remember things for very long. So, he often doesn't remember if we are going out or not. Unfortunately, he also doesn't remember instructions I give him to help him roll over or to enable me to get his lift pad under him to get him up. Every day is an adventure. Be patient and realize it is the disease and not your husband you are dealing with.
