Sunday morning and here we are. I was able to actually get outside and walk on Friday and Saturday but that won't be the case today.
He wants to move back to our house in Real Dallas. In fact, he's gone so far as to start taking artwork off the walls so we don't forget to bring them with us. I spend a lot of time putting things back when he's taken them off the wall. I find the bottle of V8 next to his bed and the bottle of OJ on the floor in his office. I guess I should laugh but to me, it's just not at all funny.
He's obsessing about driving and says he feels like a prisoner. He got a little nasty after dinner yesterday and that really worried me. He said he was going to call his friend John to take him back to Real Dallas.
He's consumed with packing up the house and getting back to Real Dallas. I don't know if it was a good idea or not, but I told him it was all taken care of - that the movers would move everything.
We're going to see our attorney tomorrow to get our estate planning documents executed. I'm not sure John will let him sign documents as he's going to ask him a few "simple" questions. There's not too much of a problem, really, since the only change in his documents was to remove his deceased sister. However, John recommended a trust in the event I predecease him and I'm not at all sure he'll be able to comprehend what John needs him to comprehend.
Tuesday morning bright and early we see Dr. Flippo after labs. She needs to prescribe something to calm his mind and I'm going to beg. He's still hiding his wallet but the Tile Mate pretty much takes care of that.
I wish I had more time to "vent" on this blog, but he really takes a lot of time.
*** Now it's nearly 5 o'clock and Jay's been attached to me all afternoon. I was able to do three loads of laundry this morning but once I took my shower and sat down, he sat right next to me. He still wants to "pre-pack" for the move to the Real Dallas but I told him the [imaginary] movers would do all the packing. I don't know if it's wrong for me to buy into his "reality" but at least he doesn't fight it. We watched Hallmark's The Beach House [Andee McDowell cannot act AT ALL so it wasn't all that good - very predictable]. Then we watched The Week Of on Netflix and Jay recognized all the music from Billy Joel so that was a good thing.
I wish I could sit down and have a one on one with God and get Jay's head straight but I guess Prayers are the only way to do it!
And Pray, I do!
A journey with my Husband and his issues with dementia and/or cognitive impairment. This disease is compounded by his recent diagnosis of metastatic cancer, for which he is being infused with Erbitux weekly for the rest of his life. After over three months of infusion, he was diagnosed with an uncommon condition - Hashimoto's Encephalopathy.
