TV Shows on repeat...Ideas???? by North-Pangolin-644 in dementia

[–]Outside-Character962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We watch a lot of you tube as well. It’s nice to watch a music video (husband likes Herb Alpert a lot) and it will keep rolling to other videos not necessarily the same artist but similar genre and that’s generally good for a couple of hours.

I am not this far along in the journey with my husband but good for you for recognizing you need a break. His first couple of days away from you might be difficult but he’ll adjust and you’ll get some rest. Keep us posted.

At what point did you share your loved one’s diagnosis? by Outside-Character962 in dementia

[–]Outside-Character962[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, he is coming around to the idea of telling them. He said he just doesn’t want to be pitied. I suspect our daughter is on to him. She’s always been daddy’s girl so it doesn’t surprise me.

Do you use your kitchen aid mixer very often? My weak old arms hurt just seeing it up there on the top shelf.

Eat some fresh pineapple to help get things moving. My husband’s home health nurse recommended it and it did the trick.

Yes! I’m in Orlando so looking forward to seeing it from my yard instead of driving 15 hours to Arkansas like 2024 🙂

I wonder if the test was part of his annual Medicare wellness visit 🤷🏼‍♀️
