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 let Bob empty the house trash can and put the garbage outside in the garbage can. The can is 5 steps from the front door and Sheri was watching from the window. Bob came back into the house very upset. "Al" said "we've got a problem" Sheri replied "what's wrong? "Al" with a bit of urgency in his voice said "Someone is using our garbage can" Sheri responded questioningly "what makes you think that?" "Al" said "Well I went to put the trash in there, and there was already trash in there, and I just emptied the can. Sheri said "oh, well you emptied this one here in the kitchen, the outside one is for the garbage man." "Al" with frustration in his voice replies, " Why doesn't he use his own garbage can?"  :)
