Sorry for just giving a "like" on posts. I just want you all to know I've read them all. Everyone has posted smashing replies and I would be ages replying to each individual post. But genuine love to you all and thank you all so very much for all the tremendous support. x x x
I hope things are still looking up and although your not religious I'm not either but have added some pictures of the 'dark forces' routing for you. Its my 20 dollar Aztec god of health and £60 Buddha bought from the range after a trip to Thailand. It hopefully raise's a smile in the not to distant future. IMG_2713.jpg IMG_2475.jpg

I've had a Buddah in my house for years. Sits behind my collection of dragons.

Wife is now back home, although very unsteady on her legs and her mental capacity seems to have gotten worse. Ah well, at least I can keep my eye on her. Thank you all for your kind messages of support. X

I'm really pleased that's she's back home with you.

She has been very ill, although thankfully now on the road to recovery, so it is perhaps unsurprising that she is unsteady on her legs. I hope that her mental capacity will improve as she starts to feel better.

🤞

🙏

Her mental health has deteriorated quitte badly since her stroke 3½ years ago. Sometimes not even knowing who I am. Just now, driving home, she asked where we were going and when I said "home", she asked "Will Baz be there?".
I'm Baz, her husband. ☹️

I feel for you mate, it's a horrible thing to go through. Occasionally my Dad will sound like he's making some sense and then you'll get some comment like 'tell David to visit when you see him', no idea who he thinks I am.

Even on her hospital discharge notes, they've put that on her arrival to the ward the other day, she asked a nurse what airport this was and where are we going?

I’m sorry to hear that, it must be very difficult for you.

I hope she is receiving the medical care she deserves, which can hopefully slow the rate of decline if nothing else.

At least she is home with you now, which must be the best thing for both of you.

🤞

It’s really important that you find respite occasionally. Keep posting stuff on here. You will no doubt feel exhausted (physical and mental) some times.

I'm no expert by any means, but I work for a social care provider. Not in a care capacity, but work close with them so have picked up a few hints over the years on how to be with people when their mental capacity declines.

Try and make things as familiar as possible for her. Get out all the old photo albums, have her favourite songs playing in the background, old films and TV. Basically all the things she will recognise.

Whilst I know its awful for you having to deal with this, take comfort in knowing that she can still feel joy and happiness. You can still make her happy, and make her feel comfortable & safe
