an infection he develops dementia symptoms, too. Very scary. He gets combative, but has never hit me. If he ever does that, I'm calling 911 and getting him admitted on a psych hold. Hope he doesn't deteriorate more mentally; I can handle the physical illness, but no way can I care for him 24/7 and work, if he is not with it mentally. He is normally the most loving guy, but when he's got an infection or his oxygen saturation drops, he is like a different person.

I know I promised for better or worse, but...... much worse may not be tolerable or healthy.

Take care, Dear. Hope you find relief for your TMJ soon.
