My Wife’s Dementia Almost Killed Our Marriage. I Come Home From Work To Find That She Has Forgotten Who Iam, Asks “Who Are You And What Are You Doing In This House??
3 min readHas anyone ever forgotten you?? A former classmate, a colleague or a friend who completely forgot you, your name, everything. Sometimes we run into people we once knew and we greet them, only for him to turn around and ask you “do I know you??”. It hurts, because some of us are so good with faces, we still remember every member of Form Four West back in 2009!! There are those who stand out, the funny guy, the guy who punched the Chemistry teacher or the one who was suspended for jumping over the wall to see a girlfriend!! But all in all, we want to be remembered, especially by those close to us.
For Christian Opondo though, his own wife often forgets him, treats him like a stranger in his own house. Sheryl Opondo was diagnosed with Dementia, a disease where the patient often forgets things, people and even places. Initially, it was sporadic, occurring in bits. Back then, she’d forget where she placed her phone, forget memories in the past, events that she personally attended but comes out blank when asked about them. It progressively got worse, until one day, Sheryl woke up in the middle of the night and screamed on top of her voice because she could not recognize the man beside her. Christian had become a stranger, an intruder in her bedroom and it took hours before she jogged her memory.
“It hurts every time I have to explain to her that am her husband, been married to her for nine years. Every time she asks me “who are you??”, my heart stops, because I don’t know if this is the last time and if ever she will remember me. I’ve tried all kinds of hospitals for modern treatment, but so far, I’ve spent money without seeing any progress” Christian says.
Christian adds that it becomes even more embarrassing in public, recounts a moment in a Supermarket when they both got to the counter and when he was about to pay, Sheryl went blank and demanded that he leaves her alone, that she didn’t know her and even asked the security to take him away from her. It took him a lot of convincing to avoid the security guys calling the police, thinking he kidnapped her. Since then, he says, he carries with him a photo of their wedding in his wallet and inscribed “Mr. and Mrs. Opondo beneath both their wedding rings.
Christian admits that watching his lovely wife disappear slowly into an unknown world, where everyone can be dismissed as “non-persona, non-grata” stressed him beyond limits. His heart sunk every time she insulted him, saying she won’t share a bed with him because she didn’t know who he was.
Dementia can pose a serious threat, but as Christian widened his search for answers, he found one in the form of Mugwenu Doctors. Turns out, it can be reversed. A nurse recommended him to Dr. Mugwenu, saying that he had helped his son, who had leukemia and was about to be pronounced dead. Just like a doctor, Dr. Mugwenu asks a few questions for introspection, which enables him to accurately diagnose the problem and offer a lasting solution. With his Powerful spells, Traditional herbs and concoctions, he prescribed a dose to Christian and after three weeks, he saw for himself that gradually, the Dementia was dissipating. As we speak, Christian and Sheryl are still together, sharing happier moments with each other. The Dementia??
Gone!! Thanks to Dr. Mugwenu, Sheryl doesn’t just remember everything, she also remembers how lovely their wedding was, how exquisite her honeymoon felt and how special it felt to consummate their marriage in Malaysia!!
