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"

"Al" will ask many times over the course of the evening, what time the girls will be home. Sheri has learned to take a deep breathe before she says that Daughter number 1, ( the one who wears her heart on her sleeve) has her own apartment, and Daughter number 2, (the one who shields her heart with her sleeve) is at college or work.To which "Al" replies "Oh, I didn't" know that" and then Sheri quickly changes the subject... to anything. Until the next time.
