This blog is about life with my husband who was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's and Frontal Lobe Dementia in 2008. He was 64 at the time although now, knowing more about the disease, Alzheimer's was present many, many years ago, which is why early detection is so important. As you read the blog the character "Al" that I created in 2008, represents the way that Alzheimer's is invading our daily lives.
There is an archive tab further down the page that starts from the beginning of our journey.

Living with Bob and Al

Well it happened, Sheri was attempting to clean out the garage with daughter number 2, and it happened. Sheri thought she was dealing with all of this pretty well. Well maybe not. As she started digging through years of Bob's projects and tools, her anger and resentment over took her. It was not just tears although there were plenty of them. Her anger grew as she tried to force open each swollen drawer of the dresser that got wet, from "Al's" escapades with the plumbing last spring. Her anger grew when she found all the beach towels neatly tucked in a tool type box, that she and the girls had looked for all last summer. Her anger grew as she dug through bits and pieces of wood that were suppose be to be used for something somewhere in this fixer upper house.. Her anger grew as she dumped piles of nails, screws, drill bits and thing-a-ma-jigs. Sheri's anger grew as she realized... she felt abandon by Bob.
