[QUOTE="DDD, post: 548744, member: 35"] I understand that dementia runs in families. Fortunately we have not had the experience. Much to my alarm, however, my husband is becoming increasingly forgetful, is back smoking cigars (knowing full well that second hand smoke is a danger to my health, sigh) and TA DA slipping in a drink or two when I'm not home. Yikes! As you guys know I am a good problem solver. This sequence of events does not have a solution. He's 80. He is a good caring man. I don't know if I'm dealing with very early dementia or if it is a manifestation of his fears knowing that I must be careful and not feeling up to the job of being a supportive spouse. Yikes. Only time will tell. I admire you all for being patient, supportive and loving. by the way, I sure hope that a bunch of fun family and friends will escort me to the other side when the time comes. I'm a believer. DDD [/QUOTE]
