She has recalled conversations with my daughter from a day ago, and seems to remember things that she seemed to forget, like what the doctor told her a week ago. It makes me wonder what's going on? She's trying to make me think I'm the one who needs to go to the neurologist.
Things like this happen often. In her world, all is fine. Shes quick to blame me whenever she can. And I understand her need to try to hold on to her dignity and independence as much has already been taken from her. Caregiving is so hard. I feel i loose a piece of myself everyday. Im grateful for this site, at least i know im not alone in dealing with these issues.
Even at two years, she still fluctuates with the severity, but the overall progression continues.
My husband was socially so adept even the doctors thought he was fine. He told them he could look up the date in the NYTimes. He didn't have to remember it.
He complained about me, that I was too controlling. I did feel as if I were losing my mind.
It is all part of this terrible illness and it's why I wrote the book for caregivers. The name of the book is my user name. Find it on amazon. You will feel supported.
