Recently I lost 20 lbs going to weight watchers and eating healthy. He said I have changed and do not cook for him. I have always cooked and sometimes he did. Now he has taken to bed and has not eaten for 4 or 5 days. My son tried to get him something to eat yesterday but he would not. I have tried many times but he will not accept anything from me. I am at a loss as to what to do. I made him an appointment for Tuesday May 29 but he says he will not go. I wanted to take his car to go to the store this morning but he says he will be gone when I come back. I want to leave but I have a dog and can not do that! I am afraid my hubby would die! He is so angry at me but not physically abusive. I just needed to vent. I had reached out earlier to you all. Thank you, Ellie
Have your husband open jars even though you could do so. Have him carry the laundry to where ever it needs to go. My sig other drives me to doctor appointments even though I could drive myself.
I know it may or may not be easy once the time comes when your husband shouldn't be behind the wheel. Does he listen to his own primary doctor? If yes, let the doctor know before hand that you think it is time for your husband to stop driving, let the doctor be the bad guy.
And try to remember, when your husband says hurtful things, it's the Alzhimer's talking not him.
Please take care and keep us posted. I am concerned about you.
Is he being prescribed any psych meds?
Congrats on the weight loss! Weight Watcher's is great. You and I are both in the same height range ( I am 4' 10 1/2" and weigh 179) . I am still horizontally challenged but am getting there as well. I understand about the heart problems, though I don't have RA that I know of. I was diagnosed with heart failure in 2003 besides strokes and dormant epilepsy.
Hopefully they can get your husband stabilized. In the meantime, please get some rest and relaxation. It is so important for your health and mental well being. Remember, your hubby is in good hands. Now is the time for you to concentrate on you though I know you worry about him.
Take care...my thoughts and prayers are with you.
((((hugs)))))))
I'm beginning to wonder if our particular agent just doesn't want to get involved with insuring guns.
I understand about the fox guarding the henhouse, or rather the guns. The issue would be that gunsmiths have more storage capacity, controlled environment, and more security than the average homeowner. Photographing the guns and identifying them as much as possible would theoretically guard against theft.
But now you've made me rethink the issue. Check your PMs.
Thanks for that information.
I went out today to see him and though he got brash a couple of times overall it was a good visit. As to him being physical...I just don't know if he would be capable of that. But I have learned to follow my instincts and will be careful when he comes home. Thank you TN.
That would have eliminated most of the terrible school shootings.
Sadly, the NRA didn't like this new technology.
