Oh man, that's tough. I'm sorry to hear she's struggling with such an awful affliction, and that you're having to endure losing her to it in such a slow and painful manner. Nobody should have to suffer Alzheimers- but to me, even more so, nobody should have to endure losing the ones they love to it. It's an order of magnitude harder on those who love the patient than on the patient themselves in my anecdotal and highly biased experience. I feel for you, that's got to be a serious challenge to deal with. If I can help, just ask- even if it's just to meet up and have a socially distant beer and hear your woes, I'm at your disposal.
Much love and many hugs brother. Thank you for being strong enough to help her through it- you are a rock.

Oh yes.. a fricking rock. Amazing display of unconditional love.
Must be heartwrenching.
So very sad to hear this and hopefully there are moments of time where you can choose your woodwind a find some peace.
What you are going through is not easy. Talk to your wife as often as you are able. I was the conservator for my uncle with Alzheimer's, he had no children. I did have put him in a care home near the end, that was not easy. I did see him every day, some days good some not. Remember the good days. Last month I lost my younger sister to Alzheimer's, my brother in law was a rock for my sister.
Take care, stay strong.

ST Guy, you have my empathy. You've been on a long, hard ride! It's a journey. Even this thread has been evolving. Wishing the best for you and your wife.

Prayers heading your way - I know what you're going through. The affliction seems to run in my wife's family - both her parents, her mom's sister, and her grandfather all succumbed to it. The hardest thing to do is to watch them deteriorate and be unable to do anything. Cherish each moment - they are gone so fast...

I'm so sorry this is how things worked out for you and your bride, ST Guy. I know how tough of a road it is. Alzheimer's took my father in 2017, and we are dealing with serious dementia in my father-in-law now. Holding things together is definitely a full-time job. Wishing you strength and peace, and the comfort of knowing that you are doing your best to make her remaining time as comfortable as possible. You're a good man.

Riddle me this.
I'm curious how long it was from the hit and run incident to the diagnosis. I've had a hit and run I've investigated where I contacted the suspect who confessed to experiencing an anxiety attack (and the victim also stated it looked like the suspect was crying hysterically). It was later supported by medical documentation.
The result was that I did not recommend criminal charges, but instead a driver's license re-evaluation.

Thank you. This is who I think of when I think of the police.

Dude. Tears in my eyes - you’re a damn good man and husband. I don’t know you but would give you a big hug when I met you. I’m going to go hug my wife and eat a chunk of humble pie...to think how I stress bullshit when I should thank the stars for these days we have.
