M rang the local pub to ask if I was there . I was actually at home when she rang but she was asking after her husband and not "the other guy" ( me ,sitting in the living room)
Then she rang my daughter who is two hours drive away. My son in law told her that I had been there but I was now on my way home. He hadnt thought it through because my wife decided she was going to wait up till her husband got home. It was almost 11 at night. When I reminded her it was a two hour drive and in the dark,she said she didnt mind.
I was told I could sleep in one of the spare bedrooms. So of course after I had put the light out and fallen asleep I was woken to be told in a loud voice that she had been waiting up for me for the last hour and it was totally selfish of me to come in and go straight up to bed. She also wanted to know why I was sleeping in the spare bedroom.

Dont go away
Ok thats it , Im sticking with this Blog
but this entry wont be long ( so I lied in my last Post)
This afternoon M wanted to take the dogs (2) out for their afternoon mooch around. That meant she couldnt leave me alone in the house - dont forget that sometimes Im me (her husband) and sometimes Im "the other guy"
So I said "Ok I will get a little excercise and take a cycle ride while you walk the dogs"
She very unwillingly accepted this because she didnt want any possible damage done to her husbands bike.
I wasnt really dressed for the weather and instead of going towards town where there is more shelter,I headed out into the wide open spaces. And when it rained I got very wet. I stood up under a tree and got home an hour later.
I was locked out and although I keep a back door key on me now ,she had put a spare key in the lock frm the other side.
She refused to let me in but then relented.
Does this mean Im going to have to hide all the keys.
Ive left her car keys lying around and thats a bit stupid because her licence has expired and she is not named on the Insurance policy on the car. She actually did receive a reminder about renewing her licence . It arrived around the same time she got a letter saying "in view of your recent dignosis of dementia we strongly advise you not to drive"
I threw the reminder in the bin before she saw it (so her licence lapsed)
She threw the "dementia" letter in the bin declaring that there was nothing wrong with her. The letter was insensitive and inaccurate - she had been diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease some 20 months previously
I will gradually catch up on previous "events"

Ooooops
I'm particularly useless at this Blogging thing
I started this Blog ,then when I couldnt access it I started another. Now I cant access the other
Im sorry if you are reading this for the first time because I really have to go in search of the other Blog otherwise I will be posting in two.
I started the Blog as a way of "plotting" my wifes decline.
That may sound Mmmmmm I dont know what it sounds.
I just know that if I look back a year ,things have changed but dont ask me to say when changes take place because one day merges into the next.
But changes there are....
If and when I find the "other" Blog I will come back and post a link to it
If not then my next entry here will be a pretty big summary of how we got from "I think there is something wrong but I cant put a finger on it" to "Every day there is some incident"
