I was visiting "my" Maine island again and among others, several couples I've known over many years. One husband strikes me as possibly starting down the road. More trouble dealing with money issues. Cranky-angry most of the time, which is unusual... You know, sometimes if one has a physical problem one assumes that everyone else who has such a problem can be dealt with the same way you're dealing with your problem: anyone who says they have sore knees needs to hear about your great knee-replacement operation, etc etc. So maybe I'm just projecting the problems I saw in my husband onto this husband.
But OTOH, it looks like if there are ANY drugs out there - the brand-new ones, for instance - that can stop deterioration in its tracks, one might want to investigate. Quickly. I am quite certain that mentioning that he might get checked out would cause a LOT of resistance in him. (I mentioned that sleep apnea appears to be a cause for some, knowing that he's refusing to use his c-pap, and he exploded not to me but to his long-suffering spouse).
Anyone got any suggestions what to do? His poor wife has just come off of many years of dealing with an ailing mother who finally died. I really hate to see this happen to her!
denial is the name of the game for most, who in their right mind thinks they could have AD?ha. sooner or later more obvious signs will surface sometimes too late as we welll know. too bad for your friend. divvi
briegull-there will always be those who will not hear. I told a good friend that by his symptoms I felt her husband was HIV positive. She wouldn't talk to me for months. She finally spoke to me again when I was visiting her husband while he was in the hsopital being treated for aids.
