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 is wondering if apathy is the one of the first signs of Alzheimer's. She married Bob when he was 45, it was his first marriage. Apathy was one of the first things she noticed. He never smiled or made small talk, not even back then. So much so , she remembers him literally tossing  a yellow rose on her desk in the stockroom at Montgomery Ward in Texas and walking away. Sheri is wondering now if this may have been a very young  "Al" showing Sheri he liked her.
