Sorry, Folks, it's been a long time since I put in my 2 cents worth. About a month ago, at the doctor's suggestion, I put my DH in a behavioral unit at a hospital for medication correction and observation. He was there for 2 weeks, then we transferred him to the Memory Care Unit in an Assisted Living facility (say Private Pay!). This has all been almost more than I could stand. First, I believe the hospital/doctor overmedicated him, changed his medication, etc because he became agressive on 3 occassions, all of which I understand his point of view. The MCU is continuing this medication regiman, and he is somewhat of a zombie. Next week I take him to his regular physician and will have a talk about his medications. Other than medications, he is doing very good, eating well, gaining weight, but still talks out of his head -- he worked in the pastures all morning yesterday. Also he is losing his ability to hold his urine until he can get to a commode which is causing some accidents and embarrassment.

Mary, thank you so much for your caring thoughts and words. I have just felt so alone and confused these past months that I have just kept to myself. Do you know if you cry in the shower then no one knows? Yes, I'm still working a full time job and I thank God every day that I have it to come to. Yes, it has been very difficult, but, and this is awful of me to say, but also a relief of sorts. I never knew what I was going to come home to find, never got a full nights sleep, nor any rest. Many thanks again!
