I read all of your messages and thank you all for your support. My husband has since gotten a volunteer job five days a week for five hours. I don't know how long he'll last or when his employer finds out something is wrong with him. He is still in denial about anything. I get so frustrated. He thinks he's still the same person he was. His guardian has made arrangement with "respite" for one weekend a month. I can hardly wait. He was going to a day care and lasted for one week. He had a fit one day at day care becasue he said they were all to old and decrepit and could not carry a conversation. He got kicked out of the day care.
Our arguements have to do with the fact that I have to administer his insulin because he takes to much or forgets he even took it. He hates that he doesn't have any control. His guardian has also gotten a nurse to come in twice a day to administer his insulin so he doesn't take it out on me. I never knew what this disease does to a person and a family. This is the most horrifying thing I have ever faced.
The alzheimers assoc. where I live is not very supportive nor do they offer any kind of activities for people with alzheimers. This makes my situation even worse because you're basically on your own.
Just having someone to vent with helps me quite a bit. Thank you all for listening. I feel like I'm having to face the world headon by myself without my family for support.
Hi Lee012, your welcome! We need each other. I don't have family to rely on either and I only have 2 friends in person that are willing to listen to me and be my sounding board. Everyone else has slowing disappeared when they got tired of hearing it. Come here any time and talk about anything and we will never get tired of hearing it.
