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 noticing that Bob and "Al" can not do more than one thing at time. Sheri is not talking about complex tasks they are things we do without thinking. Bob was trying to take off his coat last night after bible study. He got one sleeve off, but he could not get the second one off because he had the bible in his hand. Sheri tried to help by taking the bible for him, but his brain could not even signal to release his hand that was holding the book, while he was trying to remove is coat. Such subtle changes.
Sheri hates this disease.
