A quick update: unfortunately my memory is slowly getting worse, and I'm still waiting for the results of my CT scan from March. It's getting to the point where I need to use Google Maps just to go places that I normally drive to in my sleep (and yes- Google lady and I still don't get along. LoL). Fortunately I still have my sense of humor to keep me sane. I'm also waiting for Medicare to approve a referral for a DAT scan (should have been submitted back in July).
I am so happy that you have such a wonderful caregiver. I don’t know what I would do without my husband. I can’t tell you how many times my husband tells me a day that I am being wobble. I need reminders to walk straight and walk with a purpose. I tend to lean down and my feet start going fast. My memory has gotten so bad that I can read something a five minutes later I don’t know what I read. When I can I help my husband cook. He has been my caregiver for so many years and I’m sure things will not always be like it is now but I thank God for what I can do today. Just one day at time is my new motto. Praying you have a wonderful rest of the week.🙂
My short term memory is gone. I don't drive anymore. My wife takes me to my appointments I call her my hard drive. She can remember what the Dr.s say. She does more talking than I do. Sometimes I think I could send her and I stay home. She keeps My medicines right. I feel bad because everything has been dumped on her. I get dizzy a lot and my balance is off.. I kinda can't do anything. I'm better in the morning but when I get tired I stumble to much. We're still trying to get my meds balanced. I also struggle with depression and working on those meds also. I have woke up and actually fell like getting out of the bed. Cooked breakfast one morning.
I forget everything, clocks & calendars don't seem to matter much. I set alarms that say " go to work" or "go home".
I forget what I’m talking about mid-sentence.
