- Rollie seems to be continuing his rapid decline. He is now calling me his mom and really has no clue about where he is. His speech is almost completely unintelligible- He starts a sentence off fairly clearly, "I was wondering"...... but his voice...
- I didn't think this day would ever come but my husband is doing less shadowing, not a lot less but a bit! LOL It feels so freeing and I am allowing myself to enjoy it. We are never alone here, there is always on the kids here so I don't worry if he...
- Sorry I have been AWOL. I have been helping my mom move and pack and for some reason I can't access this site from her computer, it will take me a bit to catch up on all the posts. Good to be home.
- Why won't he jsut lay down and go to sleep? Why? I am so tired and he will not let me sleep
- I have noticed that Rollie is having more and more trouble associating sounds with sights, for example:He used to look for me and call my name, I would answer and he could follow the sound of my voice to where I was. NOW, he doesn't call my name, he...
- I felt inspired in my insomnia last night, here is something I wrote, it has a lot of errors and I need to clean it up but here it is:I have earned time to sit by myself on the edge of Tiger Creek, a rushing river close to my house and I sit and...
- We went to the county fair tonight as we do every year at this time but I think that this will be Rollie's last fair. He may or may not be gone next year but I don't think he will go to a fair again. Tonight was tractor pull night which Rollie used...
- We were at the movie theater, very crowded, and of course my husband had to go to the bathroom (3 times during the movie!). I took him to the men's room, brought him to the door way and pointed him in the right direction and l waited outside. He...
- We had a nice visit with Rollie's 'head' doctor. Well, as nice as someone with Alzheimer's can have. He asked Rollie, 'How are you today?' and Rollie answered, 'I'm fine. I brought my friend." His doctor said, "Oh, you have demoted her to friend?" I...
- We went to the doctor today and I asked him about the excessive peeing my husband does and there seems to be a bit of a solution.......it is common because the sensations from brain to penis are getting short circuited so my husband is losing the...
- I am back from checking out an adult day place and here is why I am not going to do it at this time. First- it is a place where people go to die. I realize that is the reality but it is incredibly sad to see. The place was nice, clean, well run etc...
- So Rollie talked to his mom this morning, for the first time in weeks. He asked to call because she sure as hell DOESN"T call him. I dialed the number for him and put the phone to his ear.I can hear what she says to him a little because, of course,...
- Ok, on Monday I am going go check out a place for Rollie to go Adult Day Car. I am thinking, even if it is just once a week. I am feeling tremendous guilt about it but I know that i must do something, I feel like I am really suffocating. The ALZ...
- I though I posted this but it has disappeared.....Rollie is getting really physically fidgety and restless, gets up, gets down, wanders around the house aimlessly. Rearranges things, adjusts knic knacs, etc. He is quiet about it. We have actually...
- I know we have touched on this before but I don't remember, I need suggestions on transitioning to depends. I am getting really tired of piss in the house and poop on towels.
