Spouses (husbands and wives) who don't respect the other's request for any kind of aid - whether a walk aid or just anything to make life easier - are, in my humble opinion, very insensitive.

I would never begin to tell someone else what they did or didn't need. If my husband were still alive I would hope to goodness that he would be understanding enough to realize that I KNOW WHAT I NEED.

Not trying to sound harsh here but good grief. We have enough to deal with just having this disease without having to explain ourselves to others when we need assistance.

OK - off my sopapbox and going to find the ice cream!
