Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

I honestly can't imagine how hard it is for you both. I would hate to be in yours or your DH's situation as it must be so frustrating. What I do see though, is your determination and support. There are bad days but there are so many good ones too. You have a lovely family and although things are hard, progress will be made. I and probably most of the people here have so much faith in that.

Glad the visit went well. Mr SA also misses his independence more than anything else. I can totally understand why. I was wondering if there is an app for Mr Lucky's phone that might serve as a diary? Someone might know of one?

I am pleased your visit from the team went well. I hope you are both able to take the opportunity to take advantage of whatever they are able to offer.


Thank you for thinking of me. I am fine just feeling a bit odd. Probably a mixture of stress with DS2 and having a chest infection hanging on...

please-let-me-be-lucky

Thanks everyone.

October, sometimes I wonder who has the hardest part of the situation to deal with, DH for actually having the memory problems and seizures etc, or me for having to 'look after' him. There is no way I wouldn't do it though, even in today's meeting it was me who had to do most of the talking, as not only could he not remember any examples, he actually found it hard just to follow the conversation and kept losing track.

SA, I will look into the app idea thanks. He uses the notepad in his phone a lot and I suppose he could even set an alarm to remind him to write something down. The problem is that he takes so many photos/screenshots/makes notes to remind himself of things, but then forgets to look at them later.

Pooh, I'm sorry you are feeling stressed. Please say if there is anything I can do to help Xx

Hey love - sounds like a positive meeting today! It is nice they are thinking about things they can do for YOU as well as DH. Hard as it is for him, it is equally if not harder on you, so it is nice to have that recognised!

Big hugs xx

Glad the meeting went well. Did you ask about respite care for Mr Lucky. That way you would get a break....I know I keep banging on about this, but I really worry that your own health is going fail and then where would the rest of the family be?
