Frontal lobe - sense of humour

HI Slh

nothing on this journey is trivial. 

I went through the same with G. He lost his sense of humour and would get angry thinking we were laughing at him. His understanding was poor right from the off so patience and plain and simple explanations became daily life.  I had to bite my tongue many times from saying "because I said so!"

It's all part and parcel of the journey. These tumours steal the person from us piece by piece sadly.

Sending love and light and patience.

Hello, Slh,

I am very sorry to read this and I can't help replying because my husband is at a similar timing 2 years 3 months after surgery and he is not my husband any more, after 15 years together.

He is very stable, he has improved his  cognitive abilities to almost normal, he got a high position at work which has always been so important for him. But he has become an iron man. He refuses to enjoy life at the slightest.

It is the most difficult thing for me. He has become a stranger without empathy. 

It is not the way one can imagine supporting and helping your loved one through this journey. It is difficult to accept.

Sorry for my sad experience. 

I hope you will feel your are not alone.

Thank you x

Thank you M, it's strange thing to explain to others, when on the surface and things appear the same.

It is very difficult to witness the cognitive changes. I certainly found our whole relationship changed as I had to be the one to make decisions. X

Yes, that's exactly what happens in our relationship now.He asked me whether he should throw out a cardboard box a gift came in, strange but he can hold down a high powered job.
