I keep telling my Grumpy old husband that he’s suffering from a severe case of Shrinking Willy Syndrome, the older he gets the more things shrivel up and become wrinkled, the more Grumpy he becomes, and his names Willy (William) anyway!
Tbh, some days he can be downright nasty and rude, starts a rant of swearing about anything and nothing, then mostly falls asleep for a couple of hours and wakes up in a better mood. He’s 80 years old, and I’m well aware that this could be the start of Dementia, but he flatly refuses to talk to his GP about it, he’s also starting to get rather scruffy in his appearance, has let his hair grow really long, and dresses in mismatched colours of clothes and tatty worn out shoes, despite having plenty of new ones in the wardrobe. He’s not easy to live with at the moment, l spend the majority of my day feeling like I’m back at work as a Mental health Nurse, but at least l got some peace and off duty time back then, no such luck when you have to live along side this behaviour day after day.
