Kia kaha Paul, I watched your videos and I have to say Vickis a lucky girl to have you.

What a hell of a time you've both been through. I thought 2 yrs as a carer was bad enough .... you do what you do because it's what you do, regardless, even when it's not how you'd imagine you'd spend your later years.
A friend of ours' ( I still include Marion, even though she's been gone 18 months) husband developed something similar 6 yrs ago. She set up a dementia social group for people in similar situations all around Perth - they have meetings in cafes all around Perth and mutually support each other. Called Forget- Me-Not. Angie's husband died last year but the group has grown into quite a large organisation - there was definitely a need for it and it's helped a lot of people.
It's a hard and disheartening road, but, as I was told - " life's just not fair, and that's how it is." You're doing great, Paul.
