So sorry to hear you news Nana58. My late husband had Posterior Cortical Atrophy, sometimes called the 'visual variant' of Alzheimer's, because it starts with vision and coordination, but eventually becomes similar to AD and shares the same cellular pathology. He was only 57 when he started to show signs, 63 when formally diagnosed, and lived for a further 9 years. The realisation and diagnosis are really dreadful, and under current circumstances, you may not have recourse to all the sources of help otherwise available. You are looking for advice, so here goes: try to remember that times will not always be as grim as they are now. There will be a lot of living, laughter and joy to come, together with the inevitable difficult times and sadness. Although you are really hurting now, most probably soon you will feel less sad and will start to focus on the practical, and that helps a lot! Most urgently, get your legal ducks in a row. Sort out Lasting Powers of Attorney for Health and Welfare, and Property and Affairs. You can do these online through the Office of the Public Guardian, but quite frankly, there are pitfalls and it's worth paying a solicitor who is experienced in 'Affairs of the Elderly' (look up sfe.legal); it is likely that in these early stages, your husband will be able to sign the forms because he understands in principle what he is doing, even if he can't remember details. Get them registered with the Office of the Public Guardian straight away. Your husband will be able to make his own decisions while he is able, but when he can't, you can act for him. If you don't do this, you can find that decisions are taken out of your hands and you may have to pay high fees for the OPG to do it. You might want to get yours done at the same time if you have children or a trusted relative or friend to be your Attorney. You and he might also want to draw up an Advance Decision which is a legal form stating which medical treatments you do or dot want at the end of life. You can get the form on www.compassionindying.org.uk - once you've dealt with those, you can get on living. Is the house "dementia friendly"? The Alzheimer's Society has lots of downloadable fact sheets on this and many other practical aspects of making life easier. You can also find out local sources of support from alzheimers.org.uk by inputting your postcode in the "Find support near you" section. Stay connected with friends and keep active (I know it's difficult at the moment). The Dementia Friends 45 minute information session is available online during the lockdown (dementia friends.org.uk). It will give you more information, possibly about things you haven't thought about, and it does cover the positive - what you CAN do as well as aspects of impairment. One other thing I would say is, take all the advice and help you can, and don't make any promises to yourself or your husband to keep him at home all the time: you will need respite care, and he may need full time professional care in the late stages, so being realistic is a good start point. Good luck - as someone said to me: "Head up, shoulders straight and breathe." You may not feel you can do this, but you can!
