Bill seems more distance these days. I also see a drop in his appetite. The Neurologist wanted me to stop giving him the sleeping pills. I did. Now he is back to awake all night and sleeps from about 4:00AM till 2:00PM. I can't take it....we are staying inside day and night...since we are missing BINGO. So I am going to set the alarm clock and we will both be up by 10:00AM and in bed by 12:00 midnight. If I need the sleeping pills to give us both a better quality of life....so be it.
He also doesn't want to attend the Friday night social and BINGO at the clubhouse. I have requested stronger anti-depressant RX .....Bill requested help in that area for the first time since the stroke.
I can not even imagine what it must be like.........to go to sleep one night........only to wake up the next day......with a extreme handicap like he has...........mental confusion.........not able to play music.........I moved us to Texas away from his friends and family.
The highlight of our week is when the children and grandchildren visit. He still likes to go out to eat and to the malls for awhile..........I have got to get him and us back on a positive track.

Ruby,
My heart breaks for you. You have been an absolute rock for Billy and you cannot forget that. You did nothing wrong taking your husband to his children and grandchildren - that is his family along with you. I am so impressed with your strength - I pray that you get a day out for yourself soon - take it with NO guilt - Billy would want you to have that.
All our love - Mona & Harry
