The answer to this question is to see a good Rheumatologist. There are test and X-Rays that can confirm this condition.
Be blessed and no matter what the answer is, you can work it out, the Lord is on your side.

Mainly look then and X Rays and a blood test. I am a lucky one that my PS cleared completely up by 17. And now my PSA is staying in my hands. Problem is the OA is coming on strong and I want to paint. Methotrexate and Embrel were my starters. I only use 4 tabs of the Methotrexate now once/week and I know my stupid triggers are French fries and potato chips! But watch out for stress or a Covid injection,...

Well he put the huge mower to close to the pond and it slid in again in a week. I feel like nuking the lawn in areas that are not safe! He has not gone to the road to mow the front yard yet. 5 times in holes there. Police came to tell me that I did not have my license to be there-that close to the road. I counted 14 times in the same hole at the edge of the stone wall. 4 times hitting the brick wall to the front steps. We need a mason now. He runs my flowers over driving too far in the circle. His kids own half of this place but refuse to help. They hate me!

My next step is to take him to the Neurologist to see if his strokes are doing more damage or is it Dementia.

Social Services can only evaluate him. They might say that he needs to go to a nurse home that he is a danger to all. That leaves me with no money to support this place. I want some with authority to tell him what he needs to do and then DO IT! I can not tell him, nor his friends. I have noticed that any underwear that he soils he hides then hand washes them. He does not use the correct cleaners. He likes Shout for clothing stains to wash the floors!

Yesterday and so far today I have been feeling great. I just can not leave him alone here. I do have errands to do. If I can just get this place ready to sell! I am working on the deck to get the plants out. No sense in making a list because I keep finding more thing to do. Although I start the list with, eat breakfast, take pills, wash up, make the bed, ...Now I see all of those lines crossed off. Good day. Thanks everyone.

My dad used to tell me that God will reward me in heaven for caring for his mom. But, dad, I can not wait that long! I need it now! I am my husband's sole caregiver. I need some help just to make him undstand that the swamp does not need mowing. The grass in the pond belong to the fish, it does not need trimming! The faster you drive the faster you might meet God. Smell the roses! Just listen to me!!! I want to sit and enjoy a bit of my life-my painting, my friends, what life I have left. Please just listen to me Dan!

Happy to see you are getting out and around. Hope you get your wish to move. Maybe a new environment would help you mentally and physically.
Remember God will grant you mercies and grace, all you need to be ask.
