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 has been sorting through the boxes and boxes of paper clutter she brought with her from the house they lost. She found a stack of index cards that Bob used to use. He kept them in his pocket all the time. This one had a note to himself about Sheri and Bob's anniversary. She knows the card must be quite a few years old, because "Al" has not mentioned their anniversary in about 4 years now, and he can't spell anniversary anymore. Maybe clutter is not so bad after all.
