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"

Well Sheri did it! She managed to get Bob and "Al" down town to the museum yesterday in one piece. Bob had a great time enjoying the exhibits. Of course the reason she chose this museum was because Bob and "Al" had been there with "work" (code for adult day center) recently and Bob could not stop talking about it. So naturally, when they got to the museum "Al" had no recollection of having just been there... but even though that frustrated Sheri a bit, she decided it was okay because that just gives them someplace to go back to since he won't remember anyway. Plus the museum is free!
