A few days ago my husband (Wayne) was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease. I don't know how far it has progressed yet. The DR said that they can tell that by asking him questions. I assume there will be periodical visits to access that.
It is getting harder. He puts his clothes on backwards and sometimes tries to put them on upside down. Shoes on the wrong feet. He tries to help me and I know that he sincerely is trying but he gets things mixed up. This morning he was putting dry clothes in the dryer and they are dirty. Then he wanted to help put the kids' clothes away so I arranged it so he could get to Ian's (8 and our grandson who is living with us) clothes inside his drawers. He pulls the dresser away and starts cleaning under it and the bed. For those of you who don't know, he is in a wheelchair and needs assistance when he needs to go to the bathroom. He is in diapers and every 2-3 hours he has to be catherized, and cleaned and diapers changed as needed.
I need lots of patience and it isn't easy for me. Not that it is easy for anyone, but I have never been a "patient" person.
Help me God!!!
So, we go out to the store. He wanted to buy some car wash for our new car. I think he is going to wash it in the driveway. Headed to Walmart. Bought some car wash, took back some things, and stopped at Arby's. he keeps wanting something spicy, so tried Arby's. It was ok but never is "my cup of tea!". LOL Came home and it started to rain so we had to wait a bit in the car before getting out in the rain with the wheelchair and all.
