My husbands memory has deteriorated as well. He hasn't mentioned it, but he asks the same questions more than once. He never used to do that, and was actually known for his ability to remember things.

We are in the process right now pudge. After some very confusing conversations, it goes like this. He can still work, although he cannot make over $1000 per calendar month during the 5=6 month waiting period. We jsut spoke to my husbands boss to see if he could go on sallary. That way he can...

I get my strength from my PALS.When I see him persevere (even if it take a breakdown to get there).

Hello, I hope you had a good holiday. Ours was quiet, as usual...hung out in our sweats and watched tv (never even took a shower, it was great). Larry gets really frustrated, and comments a lot about his mind still being sharp, so I definitely see the similarities between you two. Is your wife a...

May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love. ~Ada V. Hendricks Merry Christmas all! MrsAck

I have really enjoyed reading your posts, because it gives me some insight into what Larry is feeling. He retired from union trucking on his 49th birthday, but after 9 months, got "bored", and went back to full time work to pay for toys (motorcycles in our case). Although I would prefer that...
