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

Bob doesn't do that much any more
doesn't try to make cookies
or look for the fudge.

He doesn't do laundry
or vacuum the rug
he doesn't fix pipes
or look for his mug.

He doesn't try to make dinner
no more "Zschocher surprise"
He just goes where Sheri takes him
on her, he relies.

Sheri hates this disease
and what it has done
But Sheri won't give up
The battle is not won.



2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
