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 closely approaching total overwhelm. She has been sick for several days. Some kind of bronchial something, Bob and "Al" have clearly done something to their right shoulder, it is minus 35 with the wind chill in the frozen tundra today and daughter number two ( the one who shields her heart with her sleeve) is getting  married two weeks from today. Sheri will take Bob and"Al" to urgent care today at the recommendation of his doctor, but anyone living in the Alzheimer world knows how bad this can be. Sheri could use all the Prayer Warriors out there she can get.
Calgon take me away.
