Jan,

That makes me want to cry. I can remember feeling that my husband was

working against me he had become evil and was even turning my kids

against me. I have thought he was poisoning me, even sneaking around

behind my back and conspiring with others. I even accused him of

fooling arond with someone. He couldn't console me because he was the

enemy. I had become afraid of him. On the other side of the coin he

didn't know what to do and I am sure was hurt by some of the things I

did and said. Why is he still here? I have told him many times to get

out and even showed him the door, but he loves me and I can't beat

him offf with a stick. Now I know that it was disease related. I

really do hate this disease and what it does to people....Hugs...Patti

Jan, your email is so heartbreaking. I pray that Jim recognises you soon

and that its just a UTI that clears up in no time.

Jan,

I don't have any suggestions for you but I did want to let you know that I am

thinking about you and Jim. It can be very stressful not knowing what is

causing the behavior besides having to deal with it. I think it was in

yesterday's email that you mentioned he keeps calling you. Somedays dad was

like that. There were days when I wish I had a pedometer to find out how much I

was walking back and forth to his room. Then again maybe I'm better off not

knowing. Hope you can get some rest and find out what is up.

Well, guess I'm going to have to have Jim tested for a

possible UTI. This morning he wakes up and shakes his

pillow out and then takes off the pillow case and

feels around the pillow. I asked him what he was

doing, he said looking for his diamonds. Of course I

had no clue as to what that meant. He finally found

them on the floor, it was his wedding ring and watch,

so he handed them to me and I put them on his dresser.

Later he had to use the bathroom and he said, " I'll

know your Jan if you know what I handed you. " I said,

" You handed me your wedding ring and watch " and he

said, " No, there was one more thing " Which there

wasn't, so he started counting on his fingers. One

finger, ring second finger, watch third finger? He was

puzzled and couldn't think of what number three was,

so he started all over again counting on his fingers

and couldn't come up with number three. He said, " Who

the Hell are you?! " and started crying and said,

" Something's going on, you're trying to trick me. "

Sigh, a day in the life of Jim and Jan

continues.............Jan

jan,

i have an idea, apparently his wedding ring is very impt to him as his

watch, i assume also gift from you. so why cant #3 be something like your love

jim, or your heart, and that way he did give you 3rd thing even if it isnt a

touchable thing, hope this helps,

my dad went thru hateful stage, everytime donnie went to nashville day

before he would come home dad would turn absolutely hateful to me, calling me

whore, slut, dirty bird, i was using him stealing form him, etc, had me in

tears

manytimes, at that time we didnt even know abut lbd, but i always knew it was

part of his un nmaed disease. donnie sat down and talked to him, adn said

that i have my own health problems and didnt need his hateful attitude and if it

kept up he wouldnt think twice about packing me up and go back to nashville,

that we were here becuase we want to be and to take care fo him ,but that didnt

give him green light to become a true ass. i got angry with donnie for

talking to daddy that way, but he did it in one of his lucid moments and daddy

hasnt voiced words that hateful since. but i think it was more that stage was

over then donnies talk, but i dont really know for sure. either way i am glad

it

is over~!!!!!

hugs,
