I can't begin to know the anxieties you are having to face. I will say that we moved Betty to a new home when she was in about stage 4-5 and she had no problems with it. We had handrails installed in the long hallway to help her steady herself, and grab-bars put in the bathroom along with toilet rails. She is stage 6 now and is still able to live in that house. We're even entertaining the idea of moving in the next year or two and figure she'll adjust. I'm glad you got help closing John's office. Such a sad thing to do under these circumstances. I'm sure there are too many sad things all at once. I hold you all in prayer. I hope your vacation time can give your mind and body some rest.Joannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01380535457821185367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830953.post-59317512779395907842008-05-27T16:53:00.000-04:002008-05-27T16:53:00.000-04:00When my husband was diagnosed, several months afte...When my husband was diagnosed, several months after I had become worried about his condition, we were living in Hawaii. We had been there full time for 11 years. We did stay for another 4 years, till I decided that I could no longer keep up with fixing the errors he was making in the systems of our 6 acre coffee farm. Because we knew that some day we might need some kind of medical attention, we kept our home in California that had raised our daughters from kindergarten thru colleges & rented it for those 15 years. Coming home has been very good for both of us !<br>our home is all on one level, the yard is small & relative level, and many of our long time friends and neighbors are still here to give much needed support. He was able to remember where to go to the recreation center several blocks away for exercise class, for the 1st 2 years after we came back. Now however he needs to ask if he is going the correct way to the bathroom. I've found that in helping him, I need to make choices based on making it easy on myself. <br>I did make a new easy access bathroom, with a no door and no step shower. with a chair for drying and dressing just there too. it sure helps !!!<br>My advise for you on moving is -where will it be easier for you, as he will eventually not remember anyway.<br>DiSpousenoreply@blogger.com
