Well, Sheri and Bob had quite the adventure yesterday. Sheri decided to venture downtown to an art museum. Sheri has never enjoyed driving but she has been trying to get outside of her comfort zone so she can do more things with Bob and "Al". She thought she understood the directions, her phone has one of those map gadgets on it, so off they went. Oh my what a disaster this turned out to be. "Al" was reading every sign at every exit, every marker, every everything! It was making Sheri crazy. Bob would read a sign (one saying that an exit was coming up) and then "Al" would say "but I thought we were on 494" Sheri would reply "We are that is a sign for an exit coming up", then he would look across the freeway and see another sign... "I think we are suppose to be over there". All Sheri can say is was a nightmare trip. Not to mention they never found the museum. Sheri called off the search after she turned down the wrong way on a one way street. She retreated to her comfort zone, headed for home.It turned out okay though because at the last minute before going home Sheri remembered they still had a pass to the Minnesota Arboretum (which is 10 minutes down the road from their home, and a straight shot with 2 turns) so off they went. It turned out to be a great day and Sheri got to take some pictures, a new found hobby of hers, Sheri thinks they may have to just stick closer to home. :)
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.
