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

Sheri is angry with herself this morning. She snapped at Bob last night because "Al" messed up the burners on the gas stove, creating a gas smell that Sheri kind of freaked out about."Al" did not smell the gas. Most of the time now "Al' does not try to clean the stove anymore, but just when Sheri is not looking, it happens. Sheri tries so hard to keep him safe, he was very, very, mad at Sheri last night, well Bob's version of mad, jaw clenched tight and off to one side. "JUST WHAT AM I ALLOWED TO DO!" Redirect Sheri thought, redirect.

    It is comforting to see other wives sometimes loose it too. Though,it looks like yours was about fear that something could have happened to Bob. I had a similar experience last night, but didn't get to the redirect thinking in time. I feel like I have so much to learn...
