DH advanced stage AD: This am has not said one word not even a curse word. He usually curses as helper and I bathe and dress him or even change depend. He ate breakfast, has to be fed, not one word. This a first. Wonder if this a "new" stage? Anyone else experienced this?

Hospice nurse came and he open eyes smiled and gibberished! Think I scared her as this was a first for him. He ate lunch not a word - back in bed asleep now. Still we usually get cursed when we change him and turn him during process. Some days I don't feel like talking either. When I write talk for him I need to clarify, his talking is gibberish mostly.

HB doesn't talk much, and what he says doesn't have meaning--not gibberish--just not meaningful. I enjoy silence now, and I'm really hoping soon he'll stop walking around getting into things. He moves things from one place to another; "hides" them. I'm trying to "raise" sprouts--had to move them behind a locked door (with much other stuff) because he kept messing w/them. The constant vigilance is wearing me down, and I have to remember to put knobs from stove, toaster, grill, coffee pot, etc., etc., etc. away after each use or he'll plug things in or turn them on and be off to his next project. I don't remember a time when I wasn't stressed about his actions or when we had a meaningful conversation. Wish he would sit quietly in a chair. This a.m. he's still in bed (remarkable); so I'm mopping floors. Had to really "clean" from of fridge and floor in front of it because he used it as a urinal:( I'm not certain I'll get through this whole.
