- It is 4 am here and I am awake, my husband finally went to sleep at around 11, still mumbling. I really thought I was going to lose it. I am waiting to see what his doctor responds with. I know that to people who aren't living with it , 'won't stop...
- Don't you wish we could meet at a Starbuck's somewhere and just sit and talk with each other?
- I would like some opinions/advice, you all know my difficulties with Rollie' s family. I have a dilema and outside input would be nice. Rollie just talked to his sister, 62 and this time I could hear what she was saying, anyway, she told him that...
- Well, I guess we've slid down the hill a bit....used to be that my husband would forget me , sometimes, well that past 2 days he is forgetting me pretty much all the time. He is much more anxious for more of the day. When I ask him to look right at...
- We got about 3 feet of snow yesterday and we lost power for 10 hours, amazingly my husband did very well, we all stayed in the living room around the wood stove, we made breakfast, lunch and dinner on the stove. We even went out and walked in the...
- I was feeling down this past week, just couldn't motivate myself to do much more than just the basics and today, I went out to my monthly ladies meeting. I was gone for 3 hours and I am telling you it has done wonders for my attitude. Just those few...
- My husband just asked me who the people are who come and put him in a car and then drive him around all day? and sometimes they give him money. Hm, I wish those people would give me money and it would be nice if someone was taking him for a day...
- We met with my husband's regular doctor today (what a long day it is the drive to the VA and then the drive back). It was just a 'where is he now' kind of visit. This time however I was prepared, instead of relying on my memory I made an index card...
- The first thing my husband said this morning when we woke up is "Whose car is this we're in?" Sometimes they are kind of funny.
- So today I started to pull up some old, yucky indoor/outdoor carpet on our porch. He became upset with me, 'Why are you doing that?!" because it's old and yucky. "Don't you think you should ask the owner of this house if you can do that?!" and he...
- someone asked in another post about stopping the memory meds...I don't see a difference so I guess they weren't helping. He is declining just as much as before.
- I invited someone to join us, she's from the on line book club I participate in. I just wanted to welcome home to our little group here. Her mother has ALZ.
- It occurred to me yesterday that our debate about health care is much like how we view any long term devastating illness. We don't want to think about and as long as it doesn't affect us directly we won't do anything about it. Like how we abandon...
- The doctor says he should stay on his blood pressure meds for now because if he doesn't then he will have a stroke or heart attack and will probably become MORE disabled than he is right now and that would be harder for me, so we are going to keep...
- My husband has been pacing and crying all day because of my SIL, he found me crying because I would not have told him what she said. He can't seem to settle down, I've already given him a xanex. He has left her many messages to call him and she...
