Jay Leno enjoys challenges of taking care of wife suffering from dementia

Jay Leno made a vote almost 45 years ago to support his wife Mavis in illness and health, and attached to it.

The former host of the Night Interview Program was granted a curator about his wife last year due to his diagnosis of dementia after requesting a Los Angeles court for his legal care provider.

Leno, 74, admitted that his unique situation has shown him what marriage is really.

The comedian said he is enjoying everything that accompanies being the caretaker of his wife, mainly the fact that they can spend time together.

When asked what he learned about himself after assuming this new role, Leno said that “it is never a particularly challenged bone.”

“I wasn’t in the army. I had to shoot anyone,” Leno said in “in depth with Graham Bensinger.”

“I didn’t have to risk my life when I got married,” he said. “You take a vote … and” Will I be up to this? Or will I be like a sordid guy if something happens to my wife, I am hitting the cashier in the Mini Mart. “” No, I didn’t. “

He added: “I enjoy time with my wife. I’m home, I cook dinner for her, I watch television, and it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s basically what we did before, except that I now have to feed her and do all those things. But that.

In the request of Curvation presented last year, Leno wrote that Mavis “lacks the necessary capacity to execute the heritage plan” due to its “main neurocognitive disorders (including dementia).”

He described his “love marriage for more than 43 years” with his wife, but said that “he has always handled the couple’s fines”, and wanted to make sure that “Mavis has achieved enough assets to provide attention.”
