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 had quite the surprise this morning while drinking her coffee with Bob. A true reminder that none of this is Bob's fault. Bob leaned back stretching out his back in his familiar way, one hand on his hip, and said in his totally non- emotional, flatten affect way " I don't know if I ever said thank you for all the trouble I have caused you" no sign of expression on his face. Although his face was empty, Sheri new his heart was not. Sheri had tears come to her eyes, this time she did not try to catch them with her sleeve, she just turned her head and let them overflow.
