Accidents at home

Hi all, I am just putting this out there to see what people’s opinions are of a recent request I made for a GP to visit. My husband is end stage CBD and familial FTD. I choose to care for him at home, he needs all care but is still aware of me and still watches TV. Last week he was very drowsy and we

I was married to a wonderful man. prior to our 20 yrs together, he was hit over the head with a full beer bottle. He lacked feeling emotions, never realizing it was part of the impact. One day he woke up and didn’t love anyone anymore.. divorced me, isolated himself from his kids, friends, family.

Just the other day, for unknown reason, memory of an old acquaintance popped into my mind, specifically her frequent use of the expression, "What fresh hell is this?" Perhaps I alerted the demon in charge my fate when I wondered if I could find a reason to say it. Yesterday I'd just heard from my son

Thought I had finally better give you all an update on mum.
