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 decided to watch how they deal with Bob and "Al" at the Day Center. Sheri learned by watching one of the staff members, that if she walks up along side of Bob and "Al" and puts her arm around his waist, Bob will  reach back and pat her on the back, in a kind of half way hug. It is a stiff as a board type hug, but it worked. Kinda sorta....Sheri will take anything she can get.   :)
Thank you Open Circle!
