    Firstly..happy anniversary. My husband had FTD . He also had degenerative disc disease. Every day was so different. I took him to a speech therapist and for physical therapy just to try to slow it down. He did sleep a lot. Stopped talking and reading. Couldn’t write any longer. Anyway Leslie , it’s so, so hard one minute to the next. I wish you well. I lost him and have gone over in my head if I could have helped him more besides trying to live in his world as he saw it. He was sweet till the end. Every dementia person is so different. It’s a terrible journey to be on for the caregiver and takes copious amounts of patience. I wish you well in this long painful journey.

    My husband has a back stimulator which has helped greatly. The insurance makes you jump through hoops to get it. First is shots witch have limited results …usually two o three sessions. Then epidural which has limited success. Then the doctor tells you about the stimulator… all this is because o insurance…frustrating. The whole process takes from six months to a year because you have to wait between each procedure. I think my husband has some kind of dementia. He was checked several years ago and the psychologist said he was in the beginning stages of dementia. He has a lot of cardiovascular problems so that could be the source. If he gets much worse we will go for another evaluation. You are my hero’s. May God bless you mightly.

    Happy Anniversary Jason you have such a great sense of humor still treasure these times and milestones together. This series will be a great treasure down the road to look back on you’re both amazing and this disease I hadn’t even known it existed till last September 22 when my Aunt was diagnosed stage 6. She’s late 7 now and the woman i modeled my own life after is now stuck in her own body. So yes treasure these times. You’re both so great to share your lives with us

    Happy Anniversary. I have multiple patients with dementia and Alz. I have seen multiple ones with back issues. One thing that may help is physical therapy. He is sleeping more and not moving around. Get him moving around more and see if it helps. Its hard to tell with his degenerative back issues. I love watching you guys. Continued Prayers!!

    Happy anniversary to you both, 😊 have a lovely day. 😊 laughing is the best medicine. My mum in law was the most sweet person….did anything for anyone never said a bad word. Was supportive. In the end stages of her dementia she would get really short. And weepy. It’s very sad. She passed away in march . 😢

    Happy Anniversary! Hopefully you can get some sleep. I've been waking up consistently between 3 am and 5 am since my ruptured brain aneurysm. I usually can take a nap here and there, but I'd love a full night's sleep!

    My husband has had sleep issues since brain injury 2010. It used to be horrific. What helps him now is taking vitamin D3, Benfotamine a fat soluble vitamin b1, and magnesium L threonate. You can find research on these supplements that all improve not only sleep problems but cognitive issues. My husband was a brilliant architect Rice University educated with his only design studio before being lifeflighted to Texas medical center one Saturday morning when our entire life changed forever. My husband also has some ocd issues but no medication needed yet for that we just live with it. So many changes over the years but still here.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!!
    My hubby has had surgery on his back twice , and they won't do any more because of his heart . He had been on pain medication for several years and finally they sent him to a pain clinic . They did an injection into his spine (while he was asleep ) . That has been over a year ago . Once in A while he will take A Tylenol , but usually he is pain free . They did tell him he may need another one every 9 to 12 months , but he is still good . If the pain comes back he can get another one . Jason , I hope they can find some way to relieve your pain .
    I love watching you two 😉😉😉 . We are in the same position that you two are , and without Jesus we couldn't help it !!!

    Very familiar with the stuck on it part from dealing with my Mom. I had one day of Happy Birthday all day, of course it wasn't my birthday. The pain clinic we went to was helpful for a few back injections, but then my .Mom got scared of getting it done and we had to premedicate her before we went .
    Happy anniversary to you

Is this video taken 2yrs ago, if so this is not updated to 2023, I believe I have seen this video before. Do you have current updates as of 6/23? Thanks for sharing your story with us ❤

    When there is dementia and a surgery is possible for the back pain anesthesia can be dangerous. My mom had an aneurysm and rhe doctor refused to do a surgery. Stated the anesthesia effects could put her into a worse state of dementia.
