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"

Yesterday, when having lunch with a very dear friend Sheri came up with a perfect way of describing what goes on in her head and heart as she sways through the dizziness of her life. Bob and "Al", Daughter number one (the one who wears her heart on her sleeve), Daughter number two ( the one who shields her heart with her sleeve), her job, running the household, concern for her Mom and Dad (her Mom being paralyzed several years ago.) Maybe all care givers feel this way. She has decided she is like the little "Weeble" toy.
Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.  :)

    I think you should market these as caregiver mascots. Life may make you wobble all over the place, but never, never fall over.
