Coping with memory loss. Any advice?

Your Tommy may just be having some bad days lately, memory wise. Remember that progressive dementia is like that; he can have good days & bad days without having any permanent decline in status. He may surprise you and wake up tomorrow in a much more lucid frame of mind and stay that way for weeks or even months. Such a thing is possible, you just don't know from one day to the next, which is what makes this whole journey that much harder to deal with, I know.

It is scary to deal with brain issues, that much is certain. Just try to take things one day at a time, and try not to project too far ahead into the future. It's overwhelming to do that, and prevents you from enjoying the good moments when they DO crop up. He's lucky to have you by his side for this journey, so bless you for being such a loving wife.

Wishing you the best of luck with all you have on your plate.

Sorry your hubby is declining so quickly. It IS hard, no doubt. I am dealing with it with my mom. She remembers some things, but more and more not. Short term memory is horrible. I'm sure it's much worse when it's your spouse. Sometimes I worry about that when my spouse has lapses! It's like NOOOOO.

I also feel like your days of working are dwindling. Do you have any caregivers with him or adult daycare when you're working? There is only so much of you to go around.

Good luck.
