Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thanks Sheila, sleep at night? Not necessarily, but I will sleep in late if I have had a bad night with my own health. Love with a smile, Imogene Caregiver for my true Texas Gentleman Husband, who was diagnosed with AD in '05, but correctly diagnosed with LBD in March '06. A happy personality is contagious. Infect someone today Yours Truly In a message dated 2/20/2010 7:44:36 A.M. Central Standard Time, gfam77@... writes: Imogene, Rejoicing with those who rejoice - you and Don. I'm not a prophet, but I predict this nursing home experience will be very pleasant and peaceful, in contrast to past experiences, because you are an awesome wife and advocate. You have learned so much (and taught us so much). You have Don's yeast infection cleared & that's major (we do constant battle w/Mom's yeasties), and you have found Seroquel to provide those peaceful nights (at our house we love, Love, LOVE Seroquel too). Next week you'll continue your fantastic caregiving for Don - except that you'll be able to sleep at night!!!! Wishing you many more Happy Times, Sheila in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 maryann oh honey first and formeost sending you a very very big hug, and a plump shoulder to cry on. let it out honey , nad i promise you that wont be the last tijme you blowup. you have feelings and it is very hard emotional rollercoaster for the cg. i have been on bothsides, i cg for daddy and now i have the cursed lbd. so my hubby is going thru the lbd ride again but this time from the very breggining. pardon if my typing is off, my speling and typing dont match my head and spell check cant help me most of the time, usually i have right letters wrong ordre or sometimes have 2 wrods next to each other smoe letters swappe. you must forgive yourself for what happened. you are human, you have emotions and you reacted naturally under normal situatoin also you cannot be soul cargiver 24/7 you must and i mean MUST get help, you didnt see how old you both are, if you are over 60 elders affairs office and the council of aging can assign caseworkers and help you get respite relief. is there family there that can help you to give you a decent break once week, maybe a friend, or chruch freind. is he eligile for hospice. ask your doctor. if you dont take care of yourself now and you keep the pace you are going, you will wind up like i did, 8 weeks in hosp with a double kidney infection that turned to staph before i was able to come home, (thats another story) some nh and other facilities can give you *i dont know how insurance does this tho* a week or so care where they take care of him and you are on vacation. as you see now your hubby cannot take change, he is 17 and you are not, i would NOT recommend traveling, if he gets confused and you are flying it could be a bad scene. sometimes in vehicles our loved ones have been known to open door and try to step out of a moving car. noooo i wouldnt travel. except you go and take some time off, but get someone to stay with him. my daddy wanted only me and donnie 24/7 until i finally just got a caregiver to stay here with him every friday nite so we could have a break. also remember this, he is just as frustrated and scared/confused as youare but as i finally came to learn in this thick viking taurus head of mine. he would lash out at me, scream at me, be vulgar to me, because i was his duaghter, i was supposed to lvoe him so he didnt have to put on a show for me with lbd, he could 'let it all hang out' the good bad and the ugly , so instead of listening to the words, (ha not easy to do , i know) try looking at it like this, hey he trusts me so much he can let it out, and ignore the words, you cant stop him from saying it, so you yelling does no good for him and certainly not for you, because i nkow how the guilt gets afger the explosion. so just pysch yourself into ignoring the words and anger/ frustration adn realzie it isreally i love you in the lbd way, as he is saying i trust you won t leave me as i act like this. hard to do but if you can it does work, so hug yourself from me, and the hug yoursefl and say it is ok, i am human it is ok and then forgive yoursefl and forget it. hugs and more hugs. sharon Daughter of Leonard whom was diagnosed in May 2004 and died of complicatons *blood pressure started dropping and wouldn't recover* on Sept 25, 2005.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ann, I don't think any caregiver has a " small problem. " The problems do get bigger and bigger or we get more and more tired. Yes, I too did the yelling and feeling guilty about it. I got to the end of my patience on several days. We are all human. I just had to keep reminding myself, Mom just couldn't do what I expected her to do. And she was as scared as I was about if I could do what needed to be done. I know she did do better if I wasn't so scared. That is what is nice about the group. When I made a mistake I could come here and realize I was only human and others had similar problems. That you are taking care of him at all he is so lucky. Some people don't! And don't expect him to realize who you are now. Mom didn't even recognize herself in the mirror. (I only had one in the bathroom, the rest of the mirrors and glass was covered, and she was always surprised to see " that woman.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 maryann,  no he doesnt realize he is repeating things, he has no concentp of time so he could have asked that same question months ago as far as he knows. have you called organizeatoins for help, alz assoc, ccouncil of agting or elders affairs office., they all have repsite programs available for you. wihter a one time or ongoing repsite care but you need help before you have an overload breakdown, how ahout family friends can they give yoou breaks from cg. i m praying for you hugs. sharon Daughter of Leonard whom was diagnosed in May 2004 and died of complicatons *blood pressure started dropping and wouldn't recover* on Sept 25, 2005.
