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"

After the trip to the emergency room with Bob and "Al", Sheri is going to ramp up her decision to take better care of herself. Daughter number one ( the one who wears her heart on her sleeve) and daughter number two ( the one who shields her heart with her sleeve) were good enough to lug the big old treadmill into Sheri and Bob's bedroom for her. It has worked for Sheri in the past.(distant past, but past) This way she doesn't have go to a gym or outside in the not so frozen tundra (at least at the moment). Maybe Bob and "Al" can watch their favorite DVD or something while she exercises. Sheri realizes if she does not stay healthy, who will answer all the questions for Bob and "Al" at the doctors?
