has been non existent for a while. How do you handle it?? Im a horrible wife. I yell, I swear, I say stuff and I cant handle what Im going through. Im trying to be an adult, its not working. His mind doesnt really comprehend what hes even going through. He doesnt get it. I dont know what to do. He sleeps a lot, he tires out after making breakfast, he just isnt what he was. I dont know what to do. I cry all the time. I was supposed to get a total knee replacement Aug 3rd
..he was supposed to be my driver to all my appointments, he cant drive now. Dr at urgent care told him he couldnt drive anymore because he couldnt say who the President is, what state he lives in, what his SS# is, or what his birthdate is. We went to urgent care because he was so constipated, they did tests, and all the questions they asked him they decided he couldnt drive anymore, he had to take myralax to clear out his bowel. They did a EKG, an X-ray of his bowel, drew blood and did an MRI of his head. We were there for 5 HOURS. I dont know what to do. He doesnt remember stuff from 10 minutes ago.
I just dont know what to do anymore. I need mental help. I need help to handle him, it isnt his fault, its his brain and I dont know how to handle him now, hes sooooooooo different now, and Im damn near ready to give up.
