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 not sure what to do to help Bob's back anymore. He has been in such pain the last couple of weeks. The doctors have said there is really not much they can do any more. They can give him those shots in the spine again, but every trip to a hospital is a set back for "Al" that Bob may not find his way back from. Pain medicine greatly enhances his cognitive impairment. It is a huge gamble for an Alzheimer patient "quality of life verses quantity of life."
Sheri hates this disease.
