I'm new to myALZteam. In my profile it asks me to "Add Provider". What are you referring to? My PC, my dad's PC? I don't think he sees a Neurologist. (I'll have to check- seems like he should be) !
I believe I put her neurologist when it asked that and if you don't I would've but down his primary care physician hope this helps
Toni, you are amazing.
I am his caregiver at home. Will his bowel control return? It has been a year, since he had surgery for diverticulis.( He had a AAA repair and a hernia repair after the diverticulitis) he does not understand what he has gone through. Will he regain control of his bowels?

I told my dad not to turn the lights except the bathroom light on. He doesn't need to turn the family room light on go to the bathroom.

My husband has been urinary incontinence for one and a half years. He's been to doctors with no intervention benefiting. I have come to realize it's part of this illness. But I have tried everything to remove the stains and sent. He also fails to change clothes so the smell is intense. He just doesn't have control or he fails to go to a bathroom. Apathy is the result. Any suggestions?
