- I was just reading that California will be cutting Alz programs due to our budget crisis! I have a better idea- have the politicians take of our loved for one day. I wonder if they would still think cutting that program out......
- One of husband's non-responsive daughters found me on Face Book and is requesting to be my friend. She doesn't contact her father so I am suspicious of her reasons, should I accept or ignore her request?
- How do you all manage to talk to your loved ones doctor? I find this to be kind of frustrating because my husband is ALWAYS present. I feel that I could have more meaningful discussions with his doctor if he wasn't present. I feel like I have tip...
- The VA social worker called me yesterday and we filled out the paperwork over the phone to get someone to come here periodically to watch my husband while I 'get away' once in awhile. I told her I didn't need someone everyday but I was looking for...
- Well, I have to say that Namenda is making a difference in my husband. He has been on it now since February and we all see that he is doing much better. In January I felt like he was well into Stage 6 but now I would classify him as Late Stage 5.
- I just found out why his daughter (36) never calls him. Because I am the second wife and if her dad had never married me then he wouldn't have moved away and she would be able to see him everyday. She told me she hates me for what I have done and...
- I think it is kind of odd that when I tell people about my husband they say to me, "It's going to get worse you know?" DUH!, Thank you Captain Obvious. Oh, really? I thought I just had to give him an aspirin and it would be gone in the morning!I...
- I saw Micheal J Fox on Jon Stewart and found him to be quite inspiring and I think his message can be spread to other illnesses and afflictions. You can check out his interview on The Daily Show website.He said that his illness 'is what is' and...
- We post a lot about the psych and mind symptoms but I want to talk about psychical symptoms.For example: I have noticed that my husband's hands have started to have tremors. Also he seems very temperature sensitive, he is always colder or hotter...
- My mother in law called my husband today (she tries to call him at least every other day). We were outside and so my husband answered the phone that is on our porch, which he doesn't do very often because for the past few months with winter we have...
- I watched a woman take her mother (definitely disabled with something) into a public restroom recently and the thought occurred to me, "What about when my husband needs help with the bathroom? Do I take him into the woman's room with me?" just...
- Well, my husband's 29 year old son called his dad! I think I have a bump on my head from where I fell down from shock! just kidding, I didn't really fall down. He hasn't talked to his dad since before Thanksgiving when he had his heart attack (no...
- I'm just wondering if anyone has these same thoughts........is there some symptom that your loved one has that is more difficult than any other of the symptoms for you to deal with? I mean I can deal with the repeating conversations, the weird...
- My step-daughter has invited my husband (her dad) and myself to his grandson's 18th birthday. The history behind this is that my husband has 3 kids 40, 36, 30, married etc. His kids hardly ever contact him ( less than once a year), have come to...
- The VA just called and said they are canceling my husband's neurology appointment on Monday and the neuro will call him within 2 weeks for a 'phone follow up'. I said you mean that he is going to evaluate my husband over the phone? And the...
