Hello ALS-FTD Caregivers:
This seems to be the only thread for us caregivers for ALS-FTD. Somehow my favorite one is now closed.
anyhow, my husband is going to have serious dental surgery at the end of this week. Any advice to any of your loved ones with ALS-FTD going through dental surgery? The surgeon said no drinking through straws and his swallowing pathologist has said ONLY drinking through straws to prevent choking! will be lots to consider to make him comfortable post surgery.
I have found that he has broken every single 'rule' I have established with my husband. Like absolutely no cooking while I am away from the house. No taking a shower when I am not home. etc.
How do any of you handle this?
thanks for all of your advice ---to all of you caregivers out there!
