Just listened Chris Thorps experience and it makes me feel a bit selfish. My wife wa diagnosed with altzheimers three year or so ago I am knocking on the door of 90 but very happy to become a full time carer., Prior to this I ran an environmental field centre for a London university but decided on early retirement. At that time we both had broad ranging interests and hobbies. My situation now is totally a carer. Yes I have my down days but happy that I can take care of my wife as she sinks into forgetfulness and total reliance on me. I celebrate 66 years.of happy marriage .
