How do you find the strength to keep going on?

gosh did she really get fired? and why? big brother is watching us!!

I agree with the posts after Sherry's last post and exit. I don't see any way someone here could have, or would have!, done such a thing. As Pamslegman said, anything on the internet can be traced by certain software. I think those of us who share our lives with each other on this site are looking to get or to receive advice and support. As they say about "the girls" sometimes, what is said here stays here (among the posters here). I thank all of you who are interested enough to respond to my questions and to indicate that you agree my postings. Yesterday my husband was cleared for a cystoscopy and eye surgery by a cardiologist , one on September 3 and the other on September 10. The clearance was needed to stop his blood thinner before the procedure and the surgery. (heart problems) I am delighted that at 87 (in 10 days), the cardiologist says that he is remarkably healthy. As my husband so wisely told me as we left the doctor's office, that doesn't mean everything will go smoothly. Anything could happen any time to anyone. He is preparing me for the uncertainty of life, and I love him for that and a million other things. I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers for both of us. You may be hearing from me soon in panic mode from the stress this is causing me to experience! :) (Just kidding; I am doing well. I really might need to share with you, though; and, I know some of you will be here for me.)

PS I meant to say, "... to give or to receive advice and support."

I noticed that the OP said her husband had dementia but didn't identify what type. I immediately saw this as FTD as another poster said. However, it is a form of dementia, not what most people would call a mental illness. There is a caregivers support forum called ftdsupportforum which I have recommended to others. The type of behavior described by the OP is all too familiar to the caregivers there. If your loved one gets a dementia diagnosis, find out what kind. What you're facing is different depending on the type. Not everyone is forgetful...some have abdominal behavior, or other problems.
