Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri hates to admit it, but during the week with the hustle and bustle of her work, and what Bob believes is his work (Adult Day Center), other than the few things he might say in the car, it is fairly easy to forget the real affect that Alzheimer's is having on Bob. She finds most weekends that by the time Monday rolls around she is tired and depressed. Sheri rented this tiny cozy house this past November after losing their family home to foreclosure. "Al" told Sheri yesterday, as they sat in her new "not really her garden, garden" that they had lived in this house several years now, and after spending hours with him trying to get the fountain to work, and watching him forget within seconds what he was trying to do..and what he had already done, Sheri just could not muster the energy to be positive one minute longer. She knows she will rebound because she must... but for right now her heart hurts.
