Wish you and your husband the best. I can relate. My husband can build anything he puts his mind to but now he has fallen a couple of times and is near 70. He has to slow down but for him that is a big hurdle as he is always trying to overcome his issues. I try to keep his mind on other things. Sometimes I think the meds they give us older folks makes us worse then better. Take care!
