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"

The doctor is going to try injections in Bob's back. It was suppose to be an "as soon as possible appointment." The clinic doing the shots however, did not receive the fax with the order so... Bob will just have to relay the message to "Al" that his pain will have to wait. Sheri has already tried to explain but "Al" is not being a very patient, patient. He is asking Sheri over and over if they are going to do anything about his back. Maybe Bob can do the old ignore the pain thing, just one more time.

    speaking as someone who works for the doctor, CALL THEM. Get someone's name, make her your point of contact. Be nice but persistent, keep calling. If that doesn't get you anywhere, speak to the office manager or head person in the back office.
