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"

Urgent care yesterday, emergency room today. Bob is having very sharp pains under his left arm around to his rib cage, doubling him over in pain. No injured ribs, nothing showing on the ex-rays, blood work for blood clot related stuff not showing anything, does not seem to be movement related, eek. Sheri needs to get him in to see his regular doctor asap. "Al" has lost his patience will all the medical stuff already. and Sheri does not think the ride is over yet... :(

    I wonder if it is a stray gas pain? The nerves in the stomach radiate throughout our bodies; maybe a bubble tapped some neves in his gut that triggered the pain in his upper body?

    Hope things settle down for both of you.

    Sheri:
    As Bob's classmate and someone who has been through bypass and angioplasty with stents, I would say that this sounds like angina. I had to prove to my docs that there was something wrong, even my cardiologist. The only way to be sure is a heart cath. I'm not sure how Al will react or Bob either. My heart goes out to you, the girls and Bob. He is constantly in my thoughts.
