Is your husband on any meds for aggression/agitation? My husband was bed bound and he started not wanting to be changed. And he hated the cold wipes. He would grab his diaper and hold on to it so I couldn’t take it off. He would refuse to roll over. Sometimes he would even do a little sinister laugh. Five minutes after I got him changed, half the time I would find his diaper torn off and thrown across the room. 🙄 Hospice put him on lorazepam and that helped with his agitation. You may want to speak with his doctor about something for his aggression. He doesn’t know what he is doing and he could accidentally hurt you.
Hang in there.

Thanks so much, Eva!

Do you have Hospice in your area? They come to you and you wouldn’t have to drive him to the neurologist, especially since he has mobility issues. Medicare pay for everything except any trips to the ER. They came 3 day a week to bathe my husband, change his linen’s, and showed me easier way to do things. The nurse came once a week to access him and check his vitals and change the dosage of his meds if needed. They bring diapers , wipes, bed liners, etc and supply a hospital beds, bed table, and bed side toilet, walker, and wheelchair if needed. They even took him to the Hospice Center for 4-5 days at a time to give me a break and a chance to recharge. I don’t know how I would have made it through the last few months without them.
They told me caregivers should reach out to them earlier in the disease so they can help. It’s at least another option and they would address his aggression issues and you would be able to keep him at home with you. Hugs, Eva

I totally agree. I am angry with my husband as well. Try to have someone come in and stay with him so you can take a break from him.

Hi Marla,
I totally agree with Eva, your husband needs somethingh more for his agression as he may hurt you unintentionally as he is a large man so is my husband. Also progression with Dementia means they get worst not better. Its a hard decision but You may also want to consider finding another neurologist or placing him in a memory care facility. You are in my prayers 🌹😊
