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 thinking it is time to give up on the watch situation, "Al" told Sheri that his watch said it was 55,66,99 o'clock. :)
For what it's worth...when my older brother was losing his sight years ago, we bought him a relatively new thing at that time. It was a clock that sat by his bed and when he pushed the button it said the time. I believe that they have them in watch form these days. Of course as someone has mentioned, time starts to be a concept that gets lost in there with many other things.

Yep, after a time, they can no longer read the hands on a watch. They can understand a digital for awhile longer.

Eventually, though, time makes no sense.
You doing a great job, Sheri, it's tough.
