My husband just asked me who the people are who come and put him in a car and then drive him around all day? and sometimes they give him money. Hm, I wish those people would give me money and it would be nice if someone was taking him for a day here and there, LOL
I gave blood this morning... last words were "don't lift anything heavy for 24 hours ". I wonder if they also mean pulling my 188 lb husband up off the couch to change his pants ?
They don't help anymore than your people.
Ken's best friend is the one in the mirror. He talks to him the most.
He did tell me they were all nice to him.
I don't get it .
Try to take it as easy as you can.
Hopefully Ron will be good today.
AT LEAST NEAL CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PEOPLE IN THE MIRROR AND THOSE OF US WHO WALK AROUND, AT LEAST I THINK HE CAN/DOES, WHO KNOWS FOR SURE THOUGH
I read that it is not uncommon for people in the late stages to talk to imaginary friends or /and to their own reflection in the mirror.
A few years ago, he used to tell me "that guy" was here. I always assumed he was talking about our son, or son-in-law. He did
refer to our son as 'that guy' and our sil as 'that other guy". I asked

since he has been so non-verbal since the mid-stages. Boy - was he ever a chatter box in his real life, tho.
Be nice if 'those guys' would pitch in and do some work :-D
