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 took Bob and "Al" shopping with her yesterday. Sheri was looking at a box of candy wondering if it would fit in the girls Christmas stocking. Sheri is mumbling, purposing the question to herself, (but as it turned out it was loud enough for Bob to hear) when she looks over to see "Al" leaning on the wall in the middle of Target balancing on one foot and his cane, with the other foot up in the air as far as he can get. Holding the box of candy up to his shoe. "Bob" Sheri says "What on earth are you doing?" "Al" replies, " looking to see if the box will fit in my sock.. that should be a pretty good  indication it will fit in their stocking."
Oh my!  :)
